Cadgwith · 2 checked
Boots on. These are the Cadgwith walks worth the drive, with lead rules and livestock warnings marked.
Four miles round the most southerly point in Britain, two hours with 150 metres of climbing, taking in the Devil’s Frying Pan collapsed cave, the lighthouse and the old lifeboat slip at Polpeor. Start from the car park above Cadgwith, because the village is a thatched dead end with no room for cars, and walk out past Grade church. The going is easy for a dog and there is fresh water in the valleys, but the cliff path is unfenced with some long drops, and four of the coves on this stretch fall inside the July and August restriction.
Four and a half miles of gentle serpentine coast between a wide sandy bay and a working fishing cove, two and a half hours with easy going by Lizard standards. Start at the Kennack Sands car park behind the beach, which is large for this coast and has a cafe in season, and return inland through Ruan Minor. Stiles are reported fine for dogs and the old serpentine works at Poltesco give shade and a stream; both Kennack Sands and Cadgwith Cove are inside the summer restriction, so time it for the morning or the evening in July and August.
