Maenporth to Swanpool Path Walk

With its sandy shoreline, clear shallow water and a treasure trove of rock pools, the beach at Maenporth is brilliant place for a picnic - but so is Swanpool beach, for all the same reasons, and it has the added advantage of a nature reserve behind with an abundance of wildlife. This short 1.7 mile stroll on the South West Coast Path links the two beaches: walk back the same way, or catch the bus.

Beatiful walk from Penwarne to Maenporth with the kids as well as an amazing early morning run from Penwarne, through Maenporth to Swanpool and back, all along the coastal path, stunning views out over Falmouth Bay.

South West Coast Path - Rosemullion Head Circular

A 4 mile circular walk along parts of the South West Coast Path with spectacular views of Rosemullion Head, secluded coves and the beautiful Helford Estuary. Make time to visit the gardens at Caerwinion, too, when primroses and blue anemones grow beneath the rhododendrons and camellias.

Well worth the visit for the spectacular views out to sea, spotting The Mannacles, peering up the harbour, and a lingering over an ice cream

Falmouth and Pendennis Head Circular Walk

The walk starts in Falmouth and heads past the National Maritime Museum and along wooded paths of Pendennis Point to pass the castle and reach the blockhouse, then follows the seafront to Gyllyngvase and Swanpool beaches, returning via Swanpool nature reserve and the Poly.

We enjoyed this walk very much. We where very lucky with the weather, very hot, so a perfect shady walk. Walking in August thought it would be busy, but it was fairly quiet, think everyone was on the beach!
