The South West Coast Path enters and leaves Cornwall by the Devon coast hugging the whole of the beautiful Cornish coast, only brocken by the county's towns and villages. It offers particularly outstanding coastal walking through an ever changing landscape of picturesque coves, creeks and spectacular cliffs.
However far you plan to walk sturdy footwear and a basic first aid kit are advisable. Allow plenty of time, for coastal walking usually takes longer than you anticipate. Check local public transport times before setting out.

Lizard Wireless Station
Built in 1900 by Guglielmo Marconi to operate a ship-to-shore wireless telegraphy business to help fund his experiments in long distance signals. It is the oldest purpose-built radio station in the world and continued as a ship-to-shore station until the First World War when Lands End Radio Station was constructed. Purchased in 1995 by the National Trust in a poor state, the Trust restored it to its original form. |
