Trevaunance Cove and Blue Hills Mine

This coastal path walk is a fairly gentle one taking you past the historic Cornish mines. With an optional visit to Cornwall’s only surviving tin stream works, the route travels through the remains of wheal kitty before returning along a high footpath to Trevaunance. It also has stunning views on the cliff tops overlooking the sea.

Circular Coastal walk: Porthtowan to Chapel Porth

During this clifftop walk, you pass the old engine house at Wheal Coates, the multicoloured caves and the natural arch at Chapel Porth, making it a great place to pause before exploring the mining and wartime remains in Chapel Combe on the way back to Porthtowan.

Perranporth to Trevallas Circular Walk

The circular coastal walk from Perranporth to Trevallas is extremely scenic, overlooking the oceans from the cliff tops. You start on Perranporth beach, which is dog friendly, and includes cafes and restaurants within very close proximity.
