Amazing views and historic mining heritage in all its glory. A fantastic walk accessible from our front door! Head down to the coast path at Trevellas and along to St Agnes head, Chaple Porth and Porthtowan beaches. Return via coast or circular route just inland over St Agnes beacon. It's beautiful!

From Porthtowan you will climb the coast path towards the east. ( i.e, turn right out of The Studio). In spring this lovely clifftop walk is covered with heather and gorse with its heady scent of coconut! You may even spot a pair of Cornish choughs that have been making a come back to Cornwall. And on rare occasions dolphins can be seen swimming along the coastline . Follow the coast path to Chapel Porth beach and head up the cliff on the other side, just after which you will pass the remains of the chapel named after it, before coming to Wheal Coates tin mine with its well known and highly photographed engine house. Spend some time enjoying the fantastic views of the Atlantic coastline and the wonderful mining heritage perched high above it and think about the people who used to work here during the 1800s. Another 1.2 miles on is St. Agnes head with its magnificent sea views. 3.2 miles. 1 hr 10 mins one way If you want to make your walk longer turn in land to St. Agnes beacon from where you will get magnificent 360 views before coming back to the coast path and your return walk.
