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.

Category: Views in West Cornwall
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.
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.
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.
Atmospheric West Cornwall
There is nothing like the late autumn and early winter for keen photographers to grab that atmospheric West Cornwall photo. The disused engine houses which litter the landscape contrast so readily with the breathtaking views and cliffs. Its almost overwhelming at times but always stunning.
The Brisons in March
A stormy view towards the Brisons in March. We have had more than our fare share of westerly gales here over winter but it does make the sea and sky look so specatcular. Walking in to the wind can be quite challenging at times, but finding a sheltered spot and admiring the view makes it all worthwhile.
Sea Birds on the Beach
It doesn’t look real but holding steady enough in the wind made for an interesting almost painting like photo. These seabirds seem undaunted by the gale blowing and the very large wave coming in behind them. They just edge up the beach a little every now and then. We had the whole place to ourselves. One of the advantages of coming to Cornwall in the winter and although it was a bit breezy we had very mild weather.
