This walk contains an abundance of scenic beauty: From the remoteness of Lands End you travel past small coves and fishing villages weathered over the centuries, through the most westerly town in England, Penzance, to the ancient church of Gunwalloe. Dominating most of this section is the island of St Michaels' Mount; known to the Phoenecians long before the Romans invaded.

Some of the walks in this section are a joy to follow, with glimpses of Cornwall's long-distant past; while others will show you the modern side to Cornwall.
