Trail Reviews
An lovely walk with the most amazing views and landscape. Lots of mining evidence along the way. A relatively easy walk until you reach Trevaunance Cove which has quite a steep ascent but is latgely made easier by the steps that have besn added. When you are ready ascend the last part of thd walk to St Agnes we followrd the very steep path up as was shown on the tour we were following (very steep and we were almost scrambling at time, quite tricky with two dogs) however we discovered later that the actual coastal path has been moved slightly. From memory follow the road out a little way or paths in the same direction and you will find a wider more even path (still fairly steep) out. You will also note we had a wonder up to the actual village too. We then took a different route down and out which was much easier.
