Lands End

Start and Finish

From Pendeen (Watch) to Porthcurno

Distance

16 miles

Type of Walk

A mix of rugged granite and sweeping beaches, the furthest west point of the South West Coastal Path. Taking in the amazing waves and the battered beach of Whitesands Bay, and the majestic fishing village of Sennen. Then the famous Lands End with its hotel, overlooking the cliffs and the views out towards the Isles of Scilly. And then on across more dramatic cliffs towards Porthcurno.

Points of Interest

Immense seas on Whitesands Bay, and Sennen Cove.

The achievement of reaching Lands End, often crowded in summer but worth savouring quietly at any time.

Minack Open Air Theatre, just before reaching Porthcurno, is a truely eccentric location, with the audience overlooking the sea, and the stage just inches from the cliffs. http://www.minack.com
