Directions to the start →

Six and a half miles right round Cornwall’s largest natural lake, three and a quarter hours on estate tracks and woodland paths with barely a climb worth naming. It starts in Coronation Park at the bottom of Helston, which is free and central, so you can walk the whole thing without moving the car twice. There are no stiles anywhere on the route, dogs may use Loe Bar beach all year and there is dog ice cream at the National Trust cafe at Penrose Stables; cattle are sometimes on the Penrose parkland, and the Loe itself is deep and steep-sided in places.
