A strenuous walk along this scenic
stretch of The Lizard peninsula. Starting at the southernmost
point in Britain, visit the beautiful Church Cove, the tiny fishing
village of Cadgwith with its nearby collapsed sea-cave "The
Devil's Frying Pan" then walk past Kennack Sands; ever-popular
with summer visitors.
For this walk, you need OS Landranger 204, Truro &
Falmouth (to get there)

From Helston, take the A3083 to The Lizard. After you pass
Culdrose RNAS, take the B3293 towards Goonhilly & St Keverne.
Drive past the Satellite Station at Goonhilly, past the crossroads
further along the road, through the series of bends until you
see a road on your right just before Zoar Garage.
Turn right , then take the second turning to the right
(approx. ½ mile), then take the first left (¾ mile);
this turning is opposite the old chapel in Ponsongath. Follow
along, until you see an old, small, windmill on your left. There
should be a small parking area for the car. If you can't find
room, please try to park out of the way of farm machinery, causing
least trouble for the locals.

So, drive back to the main road (the B3293). Turn left and
back towards Goonhilly, then turn left at the crossroads (could
be signposted Ruan Minor or even Cadgwith). You'll pass a small
wood on your right, this area is called Croft Pascoe, and is
one of the few places to see Nightjars in Cornwall. Take the
first right and, if you ignore all other turnings, you should
end up on the main Lizard road, the A3083. Turn left and drive
to Lizard village, where you should see cars parked on the green.
