Coast Path Connectors Cornwall
“Hi, I’m Jack. I am lucky enough to have worked with the Cornwall community since 2022 and have loved promoting the benefits of walking and the SWCP to different groups and communities. I have learnt so much about the rich history of the Cornish coastline and been immersed in nature, but what makes it so very special is the people I continue to meet.”

The below video introduces you to Jack (Community Engagement - Cornwall), Tuesday, one of our volunteers and Jani, a walk participant as they explore around the Coast Path at Hayle. Our sociable walking groups are designed to be as accessible as possible and participants are given detailed information before joining so that they know what to expect and feel confident about coming along.

Details: Walk Length: 5.5 miles. *Sign up for this walk is via Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1989013699518?aff=oddtdtcreator. Join the Coast Path Connectors as we team up with Bill from Polzeath Walks at Rough Tor and Bodmin Moor. It won't be the typical hike up the tor as we will be venturing into the Land of the Giants to see some of the most impressive Neolithic sites in North Cornwall. We'll visit the Long Stone, which is the tallest standing stone on the moor at 9 feet, walking along the often missed Rough Tor Long Cairn which at 500 meters is one of the largest in Europe and served as a ceremonial walkway for ancient people thousands of years ago. And we will also visit Stannon Stone Circle, another site often missed. We will meet at 11:00 a.m. at the Rough Tor National Trust Car Park (PL32 9QG). The walk is approximately 9 km and we expect to be back at the start by around 3.30pm

We will break at the beach before making our way back to the start point. The walk comes in at just over 4 miles and includes one gentle hill from Godrevy Beach. You will be rewarded with great views of Godrevy Lighthouse and across St Ives Bay. This is also a great spot for wildlife watching.
Date: Thursday 18 June
Location: Perranuthnoe , 10am
Details: Walk Length:5 miles. Meeting at Perranuthnoe Car Park for 10am, this route will take us around the coast path to the scenic Prussia Cove. Once we hit Kennegy Sands we will head inland, up to Rosudgeon Common and then back across inland paths to Perranuthnoe. This walk takes in many lovely different bays. I would expect wildflowers and wildlife aswell. Once on the path there are no cafes, so please come prepared with food and drink to get you through the walk.
Date: Friday 19 June
Location: Poldhu Cove, 9.30am, (Longer Walks)
Details: Walk Length: 9 miles. Meeting at Poldhu Cove Car Park for the 9.55am bus to the Lizard. Once at Lizard Green we will head to Lizard Point, the most southerly point on Britains Mainland. From here we will pick up the coast path back to Mullion Cove. This route includes several iconic places, including Kynance and Mullion Cove. Expect plenty of wildlife and wildflowers as we explore the Lizards unique landscape. The walk comes in at around 9 miles, so please come prepared for a full day on the coast path. It is a fantastic route on coast path terrain, so do expect some hills. We ask that you have walked with us previously on a Community Walk prior to signing up to our longer walks. Please make sure you can walk this distance on coast path terrain before signing up. I am more than happy to chat with anyone who has any questions.

Meeting at Pendennis Community Centre in Falmouth, which offers a large amount of free and suitable parking, this route will take us around Pendennis Headland and then along Falmouth Sea Front. From here we will head into Fox Rosehill Gardens and across to Falmouth Harbour. A quick stop (coincidently next to a lovely fish and chip shop and pasty shops), before we make our way back along the coast path, past Falmouth Docks and to Pendennis Community Centre. This route has plenty of history we can stop and talk about on the way. This is an accessible route on pavements and suitable for trampers or similar machines. The route is generally very flat, with just one steady steep hill up to Pendennis Community Centre.
Date: Friday 26 June
Location: Meet 9am Newquay Bus station, Porthcothan to Watergate Bay
Details: Walk Length: 7 miles. The walk sets out from the beautiful cove of Porthcothan Bay and we follow the coast path for an initial gradual climb out of the valley. We continue our ascent with increasing elevation to lead us towards Park Head. Park Head affords us panoramic views in both directions and on a clear day, Trevose Lighthouse will be visible. From Park Head we make our way towards Bedruthan Steps with a series of smaller descents and climbs. We will have spectacular views of the offshore stacks on the beach below us at Bedruthan Steps. As we make our way past Bedruthan and Carnewas we will begin a sustained descent along uneven pathways and steps to Mawgan Porth. We leave the beach and valley at Mawgan Porth via steep and fairly challenging uneven steps. However, the path levels somewhat until the next sharp descent into the valley at Beacon Cove. The pathway out of the valley is once again a steep, challenging ascent via uneven steps and a pathway, which is also close to the cliff edge. Once at the top, the path levels out to a flatter stretch before dropping down into the valley of Watergate Bay. This is a volunteer led walk.
Date: Monday 29 June
Location: Hayle Lido, 1pm
Details: Walk Length: 3.5 miles. Our usual favourite. Meeting at Hayle Lido car park for 1pm, we will head out along the King George Memorial walk to Phillack, before heading into the sand dunes at Mexico Towans and back around the coast path to Hayle Harbour. This walk comes in at around 3.5 miles, and there are plenty to see. It starts off flat, before a section of sand dune walking and then onto the coast path. The walk finishes close to a cafe for anyone wanting to stick about for a drink.
