Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 171 reviews
This 7 mile moderate walk along the South West Coast Path is from the picturesque Mullion Cove, along the wild and exposed cliffs of the west coast of the Lizard Peninsula. Pass beautiful sheltered coves, including Kynance Cove, before reaching Lizard Point, the southernmost point of mainland Britain.

Mullion cove is great for a days activity. Great for kayaking around the clear waters and rocky coves. Safe for swimming and jumping off the harbour walls on high tide. Small cafe available with nice ice creams. Great fun for all and safe for kids.

A circular walk from the mansion with possibly the oldest formal gardens in the country to two hills that altered the course of history, creating the wealthiest estate in Cornwall and giving rise to the Cornish China Clay industry. 4.8 miles. Steepness: moderate.

This walk is spectacular! Taking you to the top of both Godolphin and Tregonning Hills which give lovely 360 views. I will definitely do this one again. Used the iWalk Cornwall app which gave good directions and ensured that we didn’t get lost.

Second time we've stayed at Trewoon in Poldhu cove. Lovely spot to relax on the beach, grab a drink or bite to eat from the friendly beach cafe or book a surf lesson. The coastal path goes up either side of the beach for those seeking a bit more adventure. Already booked to return next year.

What could be better than hiking, birdwatching or biking through the romantic and rugged Cornwall countryside?

Quaint harbour on the SW coast path allows for great walking. Ignore the big car park for £3 all day on the left (as you drop down from Mullion village) as around the corner is a smaller one asking for a £1 donation with funds going back into the community - how wonderful! Was fabulous on a windy day to see the might of the sea against the cliffs and harbour wall, although some people got too close and quite wet (luckily not us!).

Some people believe that King Arthur abandoned his sword Excalibur in Loe Pool, Cornwall's largest natural body of freshwater.

We visited on a quiet winters morning, parked in the national trust car park. It was a lovely walk down the hill to the lake, the stables were closed as it is out of season, yet we had some sandwiches with us and found a beautiful spot with a bench overlooking the lake, so peaceful and great for watching all the wildlife on the lake, could have spent hours there, will definitely return for another visit

Sitting watching the world go by. There is a ledge at just right height that runs along the harbour wall. The sun beats down. Fishermen and women go about their business. Families do what families do. The smell is wonderful. All is right with the world.

Spent a week in North Cornwall in October2020 & just catching up with reviews. This was probably my favourite beach whilst on holiday in North Cornwall. Quite what makes a favourite I'm not sure as they are all stunning. At Morgan Porth on a sunny October day it was not busy, the tide was out & we walked for over an hour just exploring the beach & all the rock pools. As it was October it was easy to park. Like with many other cornish beaches I'm sure in the summer months things are completely different. Parking available & a few places to purchase food & drinks. Toilet facilities available. A really enjoyable few hours. Dog friendly when we visited in October.

This is a beautiful dog friendly national trust owned beach. There are 2 beaches at this site just a couple of minutes walk from the car park, the first one is dog friendly all year, the second is not. There are toilets and a little refreshment kiosk, which makes it a lovely place to visit. It’s a nice small, pretty quiet beach. There are rocks to explore and the beach is great for body boards. It’s also a fairly gentle slope so felt pretty safe for the kids. All in all a great time.
