Bissoe Trail from St Day
From here you can pick up the Bissoe Trail and either walk to Perranporth (about seven miles one way) or Bissoe (about three miles one way). Enjoy scenic inland Cornwall at its finest with lush countryside views and heritage sites. The path in either direction is fairly flat but watch out for cyclists as there is cycle hire at Bissoe which is really popular. There is a nice cafe with outdoor seating at Bissoe. Perranporth has a wide sandy beach and small cafe with a sea view.

Camborne
Full of interesting buildings and remnants of the once booming mining industry, Camborne is easy to get to on the A30 and close to the north coast at Godrevy and Portreath. Pop over to Heartlands for playtime and to learn all things heritage, particular Richard Trevithick (steam engine inventor) and then take a stroll through popoular Tehidy Woods for a fascinating day out.

Godrevy Head
An easy stroll around the headland and just over half a mile in length. Park at Godrevy Head car park and follow the coastal path keeping the sea on your left. Stay on the path until you reach a slight decent past Mutton Cove (no access) and then take the footpath on the right back to the car park. A great walk for children as there are beaches, a lighthouse and even occasionally a pod of dolphins who reside in St Ives Bay can be seen. There is a stile and slight incline so this walk is not suitable for pushchairs or people with impaired mobility.
