Route Description for St Ives to Zennor Walk
If you are up for a bit of a long distance challenge and want to experience some of the most picturesque scenery and terrain that the Cornish Coast has to offer, then you will certainly want to check out the St Ives to Zennor Walk in the southwest of England.
Setting out from the lovely town of St Ives, you will head west past Porthmeor Beach and climb uphill along the rugged coastal terrain. Here, you will walk above secluded coves, pass by historic ruins, and look out onto hidden beaches, all while enjoying some spectacular views across the blue sea.
Eventually, you will pass by the scenic Zennor Beach and arrive at Porthzennor Cove, which offers some more beautiful views across the water and marks the terminus of the route. From here, you will climb uphill to the southeast to reach the Tinners Arms, which is a great place for mid-walk refreshments. After refueling, you will head to the northeast and cut across the picturesque Cornish countryside, enjoying the scenic views of the surrounding farmland as you make the long journey back to St Ives where you started.
