Took a lovely stroll to Cape Cornwall from Tremellion this morning. It was a bit blustery but the views as ever were spectular. There are a number of ways to get there from the cottage, each with fabulous cliff top views.

Stroll along Penzance Promenade
We sometimes take an evening stroll starting in Newlyn going through to Marazion. Its mostly flat and the views across Mount’s Bay towards St Michael’s Mount are spectacular. There are even places to stop off and eat and benches to pause for a while.
St Just at Christmas
The weather has been perfect this last few days for St Just at Christmas. A little on the cool side but dry which is great for coastal walks and beautiful sunsets. Why not pop in to one of the local pubs or eateries for delicious food and drinks to warm up afterwards?
Walking from Prussia Cove
The coastal path from and around Prussia Cove has some fabulous and atmospheric views. Keep on going past the thatched building and the old winch and eventually you arrive at Perranuthnoe where there are places to eat and a beach. If you feel a bit more energetic keep on going along the coastal path to Marazion.
Porth Nanven Beach
OK so like every where else in the UK we have been finding it a bit breezy down on the coast at Porth Nanven Beach. It is a spectacular sight though and well worth going down the lane through Cot Valley. About 10 minutes walk from Tremellion.
Cornwall’s Spectacular Beaches
It could be a David Hockney picture but it isn’t of course. It is a beach not far from St Ives which is little more than a stones throw from St Just. Come and have a look. The water is shallow and safe for surfing, paddling, paddle boarding and swimming.
Hills Above Zennor
West Cornwall isn’t all about beaches, brilliant though they are. There are some fabulous view points such as this one from one of the hills above Zennor. There are tracks and footpaths which make easy walking and the views from the top are literally 360 degrees with the coast in front and behind. We walked up early one evening and took in this specatular view with Godrevey Lighthouse in the distance.
Men-an-Tol
Men-an-Tol. A Bronze age (about 3500 years old) set of stones from which there are fantastic views. There is nothing like a visit to an ancient site. They always seem to be in peaceful rather tranquil locations and this is no exception.
Walking to Carbis Bay
The footprints in the sand were left by no-one we could see. The beach seemed deserted. The tide was out so we walked round Hawkes Point headland to Carbis Bay. A beautiful day.
Spring is Round the Corner
Spring is round the corner. Take a hop on hop off bus from St Just to St Ives and enjoy lunch and a drink on the harbourside. It is quiet at this time of year and you can sit and watch the world go by in the pleasant sunshine. In our case it was a cheeky Espresso Martini.
