South West Coast Path: Penzance to Mevagissey - 8 Days

The Coast Path from Padstow to Penzance was challenging and the scenery was stunning. Wind and rain impacted my hike during the first week so wearing all quick dry clothes was essential. But the weather improved as I approached Penzance. Glad I took a few days off there to visit St. Michaels Mount and the Scilly Isles. From Penzance to Mevagissey was wonderful. The terrain was a little gentler and weather was better. The Roseland Peninsula was lovely. I enjoyed visiting the small fishing villages. St. Austell Brewery properties were all great. The Torwood House, St. George's, North Inn, and Caerthillion were nice, but the hotel in Mevagissey was poor.

The walk was amazing, stunning views beautiful countryside.

Best way to see the south coast of England on foot!

Great trip! Gorgeous scenery! This walk was rated moderate but there are a lot of ups and downs. Definitely not flat. Our nightly lodgings were our favorite part. Great hosts and delicious breakfasts. They did a fantastic job in organizing our vacation!

This was a lovely trip hiking along the coast. Some days were long, but there was usually a nice beach cafe to stop for a break and lunch. All of the luggage transfers went off without a hitch.

We would have liked to have a little more time to spend on the places of interest that were mentioned in the program. As it was, we felt that we had to hurry a bit to get to the B&Bs in time for check-in. We did not realize how steep some of the stretches were, so we think that the walking perhaps took a little longer than we would have expected. Also, we would have preferred perhaps to have a "day off" in the middle of the week, in Falmouth or one of the other nice little places.
