We can transport you to Land's End to commence your walking holiday. The views from Land's End are of course unrivalled. After tearing yourself away from Land's End the route heads towards Porthcurno where both the Minack Open-air Theatre and the Telegraph Museum are worth a visit before making your way to beautiful Lamorna Cove.

The route passes through Mousehole, Newlyn and Penzance before arriving at Marazion. For most of the day there are great views of St Michael's Mount. If the tide is out you can walk there across the causeway, or take the ferry. Not to be missed!

Porthleven Sands has been voted the 2nd best beach walk in Britain by Country Walking magazine. You walk across Loo Bar, the shingle spit that blocks the course of the River Cober from the sea and creates Loo Pool, the largest natural freshwater lake in the West Country. After Mullion Cove and Kynance Cove you arrive at The Lizard, the most southerly point of England.
