West Cornwall Coast Path
Leg 3- Zennor to Pendeen
Page 1
The third leg of our route was one of the largest, covering a distance of over 10 miles. Following the coastline religiously, the coast path is once again rather demanding, often dropping to sea level from the 100m cliffsides, to traverse inlets and gullies. However, the route isn't quite as tough as the St Ives to Zennor leg, whilst still retaining stunning scenery. After several miles of challenging cliff walking, the route happens across the mesmerising Portheras Cove, with it's golden sandy beach only accessible by a steep cliff drop. Lastly, the village of Pendeen has a small number of shops and pubs, and is very much the first major civilisation one meets since leaving St Ives. Our route finished at a campsite just south of Pendeen.
