5. South West Coast Path Walk- Mullion Cove to Lizard Point & Village
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 171 reviews
This 7 mile moderate walk along the South West Coast Path is from the picturesque Mullion Cove, along the wild and exposed cliffs of the west coast of the Lizard Peninsula. Pass beautiful sheltered coves, including Kynance Cove, before reaching Lizard Point, the southernmost point of mainland Britain.

Mullion cove is great for a days activity. Great for kayaking around the clear waters and rocky coves. Safe for swimming and jumping off the harbour walls on high tide. Small cafe available with nice ice creams. Great fun for all and safe for kids.

First we visited Lizard Point with its stunning views, then we drove on to the beautiful Kynance Cove. Our holiday had taken on a bit of a Poldark theme and it’s clear to see why this stunning place was chosen for coastal beach scenes for the series. It was late afternoon by the time we visited so the car park was relatively empty. Being National Trust members, you just simply scan your card and parking is free. Annoyingly the tide times had been rubbed off of the public notice board so we took a chance and walked down the shorter path (which I agree some may consider quite steep and challenging), and luckily found we could still get down on to the beach this way. The views were amazing and we spent lots of time watching the crashing waves starting to reclaim the beach and climbing and walking along the cliff top watching the tide coming in from all angles. The colour of the sea and the sky at this time of day was simply breathtaking. It seemed we had timed our visit perfectly as the beach was rather empty, apart from the occasional nutter braving the waves resulting in a unnecessary visit from the life boat services. A trip here really blew the cobwebs away and made us realise how beautiful our coastline really is! We made memories that day that I will cherish forever. I’m not sure I’d have been so keen on a visit on the overcrowded summer days that other people describe though! I think it depends on what you want from a beach. I’m less about the bucket and spades and more about the breath taking views and the walking!

8. Kynance Cove from Lizard Green Walk
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 135 reviews
A gentle stroll on the South West Coast Path to one of Britain’s most spectacular coves, whose red and green serpentine rocks are as beautifully carved and polished by the sea as the Victorian stoneware once produced by the nearby Poltesco factory. The walk follows the path through the rare Cornish heath above the cove to Tor Balk, where there are spectacular views down over Kynance Cove.

Whilst staying in Mullion for Christmas, we decided to pop the turkey in the oven and go for a walk and what a discovery this was. Only a short journey from our rental. Plenty of parking and not the only ones who thought to do this Christmas morning. Took the steps down from the car park as tide was out, weather perfect blue skies and sunshine and enjoyed clambering over the large rocks to the sea front. Tide came in pretty fast so took the path back to the car park. Beautiful location sadly didn’t see neither Ross or Demelza. Definitely recommend a visit

Archaeologists and historians still don't know what purpose these subterranean tunnels served nearly 2,000 years ago.
Reviewed By LordCadwell - Maidenhead, United Kingdom
Small buried stone chamber with 2 further passages off. The one in front is probably too tight a squeeze but the one on the left opens up soon after the entry hole. Wind up torches are a nice touch. Follow the green arrows from the rear of the "all other parking" area in Trelowarren Estate. Note the one at the end of the field is gone but the trace of a disc on a pole can be seen (points left by the way). Follow the lane right, before the houses and continue to field the sign is to the left and steps a little further on. Otherwise you will end up tramping through people's back gardens...It is only small but it's free and it's an adventure

We visited as a group for the deep mine tour, our group had mixed interests and backgrounds but everyone thoroughly enjoyed the experience. After picking up and fixing on our safety helmets, belts and lamps there was short film clip explaining the history of Cornish mining and this site, it was informative and set the scene for the mine tour itself. Underground is very atmospheric, in places the rock ceiling above you is a little low so you do need your hard hat and in parts it is a bit wet but this just adds to the experience, quite a few steps down and back up if you do the long tour but worth the effort. Our guide was really informative explaining rock features, historic mine practises, including human aspects of being a miner which included women working above ground and young boys working underground, looked like it was a hard and dangerous life. I thought the price was very reasonable given how much work is done to keep the mine open, pumping out massive amounts of water to keep the lower levels of the mine accessible. I can highly recommend a tour of the Poldark mine, a fantastic opportunity to see a historic tin mine, complete with some beautiful gardens and a small museum area. I hope to visit again in the future.
