Lizard Peninsula Walk (Sunday Times Great British Walks)

This 8 mile walk is a lovely day out, visits one of the most beautiful beaches in the county and is not too far from Falmouth.  You need to drive down to Lizard and then catch the 37 Bus from the Village Green for a 30 minute ride to Poldhu Cove (this means that you end up back at your car).  You walk from Poldhu Cove, up the coastal path, past the Marconi Monument where the first transatlantic radio signals were sent in 1901.  After a mile you're beside the crabbing quay in Mullion Cove, which is straight out of a Famous Five story and then it's on along the cliffs again.  Summer is splendid here, and the downs are bright with sea pinks and orchids and nibbled by incongruous Highland cattle.  You'll be 200ft aloft all the way to the blissful Kynance Cove.  Time to cool your feet with a paddle and your tonsils with a Cornish Ice Cream.  Then, there is another 3 miles to go, south along the trail to Lizard Point, who's pepper pot lighthouse makes a satisfying finish post.  They recommend the ecofriendly cafe at Kynance Cove, with its turf roof and wool-lined walls.  They do a great cream tea, or a crab sarnie.... www.kynance-covecafe.co.uk
