West Cornwall & the Scillies

22 Scott's Quay circular
One of the region's most secret and alluring waterways.

 Mousehole - Lamorna
It’s a bit of a tradition, the walk from Mousehole to Lamorna Cove, the origins of which have been lost in the mists of time...

 Porthcurno circular
My own preference to walking around Land's End – lonelier and altogether more maritime...

 Malpas-Tresillian
There is something about gaining access to a place by boat - something poetic and other-worldly.

 Carn Galver
A cracking saunter around one of the most dramatic coastal areas in the kingdom.

 Gribbin Head
Several readers have asked if I could enlarge upon my favourite strolls in du Maurier Country. Happy to oblige.

 Lansallos East
Every now and again you discover a place so wonderful, you are loath to share it with anyone. This is such a place.

 Lanhydrock Estate
Here's a walk that's the basis for a great day out that doesn't include the car.

 Porthtowan
The indescribable essence and spirit otherwise known as Cornishness...

 Loe Pool
Everything about Loe Pool is enigmatic and the place can take on an altogether mysterious air.

 Pentewan Circular
We did this short walk on the Cornish coast in dark cold weather and found it exhausting.

 Portreath - Devoran
The Coast-to-Coast Tramway Trail is actually better suited to cycling, but the stroll makes for a pleasant day out nevertheless.

 Mullion to Kynance Cove
A graveyard for helicopters and aeroplanes.

 The Dodman
Among the cruel rocks which guard the secrets of a dark and brooding sea.

 Perranuthnoe
A little taste of Devon in Cornwall

 Hayle Towans
In central Hayle you know you are close to the sea but the Atlantic, for all its size, is not easy to spot.

 St Enodoc
All things draw toward St Enedoc. So said Sir John Betjeman, and who are we to disagree?

 Church Cove
A figure-of-8 around the Atlantic cliffs and a quiet sit in a churchyard.

 Carn Brea
Carn Brea is arguably the most prominent landmark of West Cornwall.

 St Agnes Beacon
Remains of the mine working - slag-heaps, quarries and weird conical cages.

 Lizard West and

 Lizard East
The wild and lovely Lizard Peninsula offers hikers some of the finest walking in the Westcountry. We have two routes around the British mainland's most southerly point
