The tour "South West Coastal Path: St Ives To Penzance" starts in St Ives and ends in Penzance. It is a walking tour that takes 8 days taking you through Penzance, Zennor, Pendeen Watch and 5 other destinations in England. "South West Coastal Path: St Ives To Penzance" is a self-guided private tour that includes accommodation, transport, meals and others.

Walk on the Cornwall Coastal Path West from St Ives to Penzance. This walk takes you around the extreme south west coast of Britain, a wild and surf pummeled shoreline, taking in Lands End and a multitude of tiny coves, throbbing with the sound of breakers, the eerie call of birds and barks of seals. Human history here has been long and chequered, cliff top moors are dotted with cairns and unusual pierced rocks. There is an artistic and literary tradition that has bloomed from the romance of the land, the seascapes and the history of mining, lighthouses, smugglers and wreckers. It is a fact that much of the South West Coastal Path, of which this section is but a week of, was developed by the government to enable customs men to patrol the cliffs and coves.
