Walk on the Cornwall Coastal Path West from St Ives to Mevagissey.

In St. Ives enjoy wandering the cobbled lanes with small shops, restaurants and pubs. The walk passes the 'Carracks' - rocks where you may see Atlantic Grey Seals, before going inland to Zennor. The trail returns to the coast threading its way through the coves and the old tin mines skirting inland beside Cape Cornwall, and to the pretty fishing village of Sennan Cove. Spend time at Land's End which has natural ambiance with the Atlantic pounding around Wolf Rock and the Long Ships. There are beautiful places to pause at Penberth Cove before reaching Lamorna with its old smuggler's pub, the 'Lamorna Wink'. Passing Penzer point you gain views to St. Michael's Mount and visit the pretty village of Mousehole before entering the busy resorts of Newlyn, Penzance and on past Marazion and Mounts Bay. The coast is deeply indented by the valleys of the Helford and Fal Rivers, whose steep slopes are clad with dense forest. You will need to take a couple of ferries on your day to St. Mawes, which along with Portloe are fascinating fishing villages with great smuggling histories.
