Our idea of a perfect autumn afternoon is a long walk along the Cornish coast followed by a hearty lunch. Not only will you work up an appetite but you will see some of the most beautiful views in the country. We can’t think of a more relaxing way to enjoy your five star holiday in Cornwall.
Be warned that the
St Ives to Zennor coastal walk is no easy feat. It’s six miles long, taking
approximately four hours and requires some clambering over rocks. Sensible footwear
is a must! However if you’re up for the challenge you will reap the rewards.
The coastline is breathtaking and the half way point at Seal Island makes a
perfect break.
Once you arrive at
Zennor why not stop off at The Tinner’s Arms for a much needed refuel? Lunch is
served from 12 – 3pm daily with a great roast on Sundays. On a warm day you can
sit out on the terrace to enjoy the views, and when it’s a little more
windswept you will find comfort in the pub’s log fires, stone floors and low
ceilings.
After enjoying the
real Cornish ales you might find yourself energized and ready to take on the
walk back to St Ives. If you feeling a little worn out you can take a shortcut
via a sign-posted route across the fields or you could hop into a taxi. Luckily
our luxury accommodation is situated at the end point of the walk so once
you’re all worn out you can put your feet up and relax.
St Ives to Lelant
For those wanting
less of a challenge the St Ives to Lelant coastal walk is much shorter with the
route taking approximately two hours. Although there’s a large hill to climb at
the half way point, you do have the option of stopping at Carbis Bay and getting
the train back. This flexibility makes it great for all levels.
Comfy clothes and
sturdy shoes are a must for Cornish coastal paths but if you need help
making your five star self catering holiday special please don’t hesitate to
ask. We’re here to help!
