Greevor Tin Mine (15 Oct 2025)
On my last day, Pauline took me to the Greevor Tin Mine. I had walked past it, and was very happy to visit it. Much of the mine workings were undersea, and were a very…
National Maritime Museum Cornwall (14 Oct 2025)
In theory this day was intended for me to talk from St Ives across to Penrith, but I had had enough of walking so I took the train to Falmouth to visit the NMMC there.…
St Ives (13 Oct 2025)
I found St Ives irresistible when it came to taking photos. Not only was there the cafe’s balcony at Tate St Ives, my room overlooked the harbour! Shutter speed: 1/320s Aperture: ƒ/4.5 ISO: 100 Focal length: 55mm Taken: 13 October,…
Zennor to St Ives (13 Oct 2025)
The last day’s walking was from Zennor to St Ives. 7 miles, 2,100′ of ascent. A short day, more downhill than up. I was sad to finish my walk, though I did need a day…
Trewellard to Zennor (12 Oct 2025)
The toughest day of the five walking, with just over 10 miles and 2,900′ of ascent – more than many of my recent Munros! However, it was a very, very scenic one. I started by…
Sennen Cove to Trewellard (11 Oct 2025)
I think this day had some of the best scenery from beautiful sandy beaches to rocky points and headlands, and the start of the mining area (think Poldark!) near St Just. There was also Ballowall…
Porthcurno to Sennen Cove (10 Oct 2025)
Porthcurno to Sennen Cove, 8 mils, 2,200′ climbing. The initial ascent next to Minick Theatre felt tough, but plenty of delightful walking awaited and the route took me past the lookout at Gwennap Cove and…
Mousehole to Portcurno (09 Oct 2025)
The first day of walking a tiny bit of the South West Coast Path. Mousehole to Porthcurno was 9 miles and 2,111′ of ascent. Phew! The view down to the bays just before Portcurno with…
St Michaels Mount (08 Oct 2025)
The first day of my trip to Cornwall. I had arranged with Pauline to go to St Michaels Mount, and she was able to book tickets that let us walk there and back. We left…
