A surprisingly long and arduous walk that has everything: Fantastic views of St Ives and the Island, seals at The Carracks, superb views from Zennor Head and the mermaid in Zennor Church.
For this walk, you need OS Landranger 203, Lands End
Severity of walk
This is a popular part of the coast; as you leave
St Ives, you see a lot of people walking: Most disappear after a while,
either going to a nearby camp site, or walking a well publicised circular
walk; or, like us, you may meet the (young) energetic types who are walking
to Zennor to visit the pub, then walking back again (fools!): We didn't.
We walked one way only, and that was quite enough, thank you.

Follow the B3306 from St Ives to St Just until Zennor. Park in the car
park beside the museum or, in summer, wherever you can!
Park the second car in one of the car parks in St Ives, either at the Harbour or round the corner, near The Island: grid reference SW 521 409 or SW 521 410
There is also a private car park as you come into St Ives from Zennor, but I couldn't tell you exactly where!
