Fantastic coastal walks either direction from Bolberry Down car park - either towards East Soar Mill Cove or to Hope Cove. Great restaurant here too - definitely recommend for breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea or dinner. Being National Trust members get the parking free which is always a bonus.

A relatively gentle walk around the Garrison on St. Mary's helps to clear the head - it puts ones life into perspective when thinking about the lives and loves of the 18th century soldiers who inhabited these glorious islands centuries earlier. How did they move the cannons and guns, just how did the logistics work out?? Questions asked - must be answered.....

Having endured the coastal path walk from St. Ives to Zennor, the finish at Zennor Head is always welcome, with a lovely pub, The Tinners Arms only a short walk away.

This wild and craggy moor offers many historic attractions including prehistoric granite "sculptures" and the supposed final resting place for King Arthurs legendary sword Excalibur.
Reviewed By R0bbie78 - Wickford, United Kingdom
Parked up near Minions and walked across the moor to the Hurlers Stone Circles. Fabulous views for miles around. There are 3 stone circles 2 of which have been re furbished and once again left you wondering what use our ancestors put them to.
10. Saltash Heritage Trail
