South West Coast Path - Hayle to St Ives

View to Godrevy Point

An easy and delightful 6 mile walk along the South West Coast Path between Hayle and St Ives

This is one of the easier sections of the South West Coast Path that keeps within easy reach of civilisation and follows the St Ives branch line along this idyllic coastline. A few climbs but nothing too strenuous. Excellent views across the sandy beaches up to Godrevy Point. Perfect for a Sunday afternoon stroll.

South West Coast Path - Portreath to Hayle

Portreath

A 12 mile walk along the North Cornish section of the South West Coast Path between Portreath to Hayle

Although there are a couple of climbs at the Portreath end of this walk, this is predominantly an easy clifftop path along with dune or beach walking across the sands between Godrevy Point and Hayle.

South West Coast Path - Helford to Coverack

Porthoustock

An 11 mile walk along the South West Coast Path between Helford and Coverack

A fairly easy section of the Cornish section of the South West Coast Path but it still presents some spectacular and rewarding scenery. With rivers to cross and charming fishing villages nestled in hidden coves this makes a well worthwhile full days trail.

South West Coast Path - Portreath to Perranporth

Towanroath Pumping Engine House

A 12 mile walk along the South West Coast Path between Portreath and Perranporth

A landscape scarred with the remains of centuries of mining is what typifies this section of the South West Coast Path. The remains of old engine houses, foreboding chimneys and numerous bat friendly shaft covers are encountered along the cliff top path. There is also the legend of the Giant Bolster in these parts, a giant said to be so tall that he could stand with his feet straddled across two local peaks six miles apart.
