The Devil's Frying Pan

Highlight • Natural Monument

When the roof of this cave collapsed it left behind an impressive stone arch and 330 foot (100 m) deep hole. Depending on the weather conditions, you may see a calm pool of water or, if you are lucky, a bubbling sea that resembles a large frying pan cooking up a devilish dish.

Cadgwith

Highlight • Settlement

Cadgwith is a small fishing village forgotten by the 21st century, situated on the eastern side of the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall. Fishermen still push their boats up the beach to catch shellfish and wet fish when the weather permits.

Roskilly's Farm Ice Cream Parlour & Tea Rooms

Highlight • Restaurant

Well worth a visit either just for an ice cream or something more filling. Visit the animals, see the milking parlour in action or have a relaxing stroll around the grounds.

Porthoustock Beach and Quarry

Highlight • Beach

The road here comes close by to Porthoustock beach where you can often find a snack van if your energy levels need topping up.

Cars park at the top of the beach on the pebbles, leaving the sandy bay, exposed at low tide, for sunbathers and sandcastles makers.

At either side of the beach you can see the workings of a quarry. The huge silo at the southern end is of particular note. It was once used to store aggregate from the quarry but is now disused.

Porthallow Cove

Highlight • Beach

Porthallow Cove was once home to a thriving pilchard fishing industry, only a few working boats remain.

It is the mid-point of the South West Coast Path. 517km done, only another 517km to go for all the weary walkers passing by. There is a granite sculpture on the beach marking the milestone.

The beach is a pebbly one and as it is pretty hidden away it is often nice and quiet. There is a pub, the Five Pilchards and public toilets.
