South West Coastpath - Par to Looe

Path to Polperro

A challenging 20 mile walk along the South West Coast Path between Par and Looe.

Some describe this as the most scenic of the south coast section of the Cornish South West Coast Path. There are the charming villages of Polkerris, Fowey, Polruan and Polprerro and the cliff-top path offers fantastic views along the Cornish coastline. Although the going is fairly strenuous around East Coombe, on the whole the path does not offer too much of a challenge other than in the sheer distance. Shorter walks can be planned using the bus services that connect Polruan and Polperro to Looe.

South West Coast Path - Par to Mevagissey

Charlestown

A 10 mile alternative route for the South West Coast Path between Par and Mevagissey.

With the highlights of Charlestown and Mevagissey this walk holds a lot of expectation. When the weather turns against the avid walker and the conditions along the coast path become slippery and dangerous then this route provides an alternative. Always put safety first and during times of dense fog and or heavy rain always use a sense of caution when proceeding.

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.
