The route from St Ives to Pendeen on the SWC Path was one of the most beautiful I have done - in Pendeen there is a pub with great bungalows with sea views - the North Inn.

The remains of the mine building are right by the road. There is a car park that is a good starting point for hikes. The bus (Lands End Coaster) also passes by regularly.

Walking along the coast path it is hard to resist the lure of the stunning white sand of Portheras Cove. You can take a small trail down to explore the beach, owned by the Duchy of Cornwall. Look out for seals who are often spotted in the water.
