Starting from the pretty fishing village of Porthallow, park on the pebbly beach and take the coastal path in an easterly direction.The path climbs up the cliff and then follows a route through heathland and grassland where Nare Head stands looking proudly out to sea about two miles away. This is a lovely scenic walk with views over the water towards St Mawes Head. Wear suitable footwear as the path is uneven at times and can be muddy.
Take the coastal path on this short walk of one and a half miles and enjoy two pretty beaches with clear, shallow water and some great rock pools. Take a picnic and don't forget your bucket and spade!
Take a full day to enjoy this wonderful coastal walk. Take the ferry from St Mawes to Place and follow the coastal path to Portheor and Towan beach. Enjoy lunch in Portscatho then walk up the hill to Gerrans Church along the lane towards Porth. Follow the signs along the shores of Porth Creek to North Hill Point until the path runs along the banks of Percuil River back to where you started. With stunning views and great places for lunch in Portscatho, this 9 mile walk is well worth the effort.
Park in the car park at St Anthony Head and you can take either a short, level walk there and back to the Stile above Porthbeor Beach or venture further for on a four and a half mile jaunt. The coastal path will take you around the headland (you just can't miss the stunning views) taking in the battery observation post and ramparts. Carry on along the path to Porthbeor Beach (no access due to storm damage) and above the beach take the short link path to the road into Bohortha. Continue to the lane near Place House and pick up the coastal path again back to the car park. There are no facilities on this walk but it is great for kids who can see the lighthouse and wartime features. Good for dogs but do take care on cliff sections. You can also catch the ferry from st Mawes to Place and start the walk from there.
Start from St Mawes harbour and head up towards the castle. Follow the coastal path for about a mile, taking the right hand fork which takes you inland to the A3078. Turn right and in 100 yards pick up another path on the left. The path then doubles back on itself for another 100 yards and then turn left past Boslogga and Percuil River. Follow the riverbank back towards St Mawes. Enjoy stunning coastal views on this 3 and a half mile gentle trek.
