HIKE OVERVIEW

Mileage: 7.5 miles

Ascent: 2984 ft / 909 m

Fancy an early morning swim? You’ll head back toward the Minack Theatre this morning to drop back down onto the coastal path, and your day will begin hiking around the beautiful Porthcurno beach, swimming optional!

Later, a collection of undulating hills mixed with rocky beaches, followed by wooded inland areas, makes today’s hike challenging and exciting in equal measures.

🌱 LUNCH TIP

You should have your lunch pre-arranged to go from the Sea View house bed and breakfast.

TRAIL TIP

You’ll ease into the day with sweeping views over Porthcurno bay, shortly after, the path soon narrows and dips into wilder terrain — hiking poles at the ready!

As you approach Lamorna, the trail shifts from sea-salted cliffs to a more wooded, sheltered feel. It’s a day of contrasts, with a real sense of solitude between two tucked-away coastal villages.

MAKE SURE TO
