Looking out over the deep blue Atlantic, all that is between you and the USA, in essence, is probably just a barbed wire fence.
One of the most popular coastal walks in Cornwall is from St Ives to Zennor along the South-West Coast Path. You pass Hor Point, Pen Enys Point, Carn Naun Point and Gala Rocks. There are also views over to the Carracks, home to a colony of rather large Grey Atlantic Seals. 6 miles later, you will reach Zennor Head, bustling with colour and delicious smells of the countryside. Having walked past Tremedda Farm, home to Moomaid of Zennor, (i.e, the most delicious ice-cream you have ever tasted in your life) you can stop in the little Zennor chapel for a little treat yourself!
For a different inland walk, ramble through Foage Valley and up onto the windswept moors and rocky Tregerthen hill. Here, you will be rewarded with unparalleled views of our prehistoric landscape and ever-changing skies. Hidden nearby is Zennor Quoit, the largest portal dolmen in the world.
Zennor Parish really is a walker’s paradise. Whether you’re interest is archaeology, wildlife, mining history, rock climbing, or simply enjoying the spectacular scenery and dramatic coastline, walking in Zennor has it all.
Bosigran, a large granite sea-cliff located in West Penwith at the very tip of the Cornish peninsula, perched high above a boulder-strewn cove and, more often than not, a boiling cauldron of icy blue Atlantic water. It really is one of the most popular spots for rock climbing in Cornwall – maybe even the whole of the UK. Plus, it always helps that the Gurnards Head in 2 minutes away, so a nice cold pint can be waiting for you after a long, tiresome day on the rocks.
