Itinerary Expand all Marazion to Coverack Day 1 Arrival in Marazion Arrival in Marazion Day 2 Marazion to Porthleven From St Michaels Mount and Mount's Bay, follow the gentle slopes of south Cornwall and the dark metamorphic rock to be found here. Sloping fields run down towards the cliff edge and sheltered coves protect shingle beaches. The landscape becomes wilder, the cliffs higher and the coves narrower as you approach the fishing port of Porthleven where you stay for the night, with a good selection of cafes, pubs and restaurants. Meals included: Breakfast Day 3 Porthleven to Mullion Today the coastal path traverses windswept beaches and dramatic cliffs out towards the western side of the Lizard Peninsula. Often the gulls screeching down below are your only company, however the views are spectacular and the view over Mullion Cove alone is worth the journey. Stay overnight in Mullion, the largest village on the Lizard, with plenty of shops, inns, cafes and restaurants. The 13th century church in the heart of the village is worth a visit and the National Trust owned working harbour is very pretty. Meals included: Breakfast Day 4 Mullion to Lizard With a wonderful sense of isolation, this section of the Cornish coast path is a place of towering cliffs and rolling downs, punctuated by a scattering of isolated villages nestled into steep sided coves. As the miles pass, the landscape becomes wilder, with expansive views back west towards Penzance and the coastline already traversed, and ahead towards Lizard Point, the most southerly point in mainland Britain, passing the postcard perfect Kynance Cove en route before your night in Lizard. Meals included: Breakfast Day 5 Lizard to Coverack A peaceful and sheltered landscape of fishing coves and calmer shores as you pass along the eastern coast of the Lizard peninsular. Beyond the exceedingly pretty Cadgwith Cove with its whitewashed thatched cottages and fleet of small fishing boats, follow the remote section of coast, broken only by the expansive beach at Kennack Sands. Verdant cliffs and tree-lined valleys merge into low moorland as the path heads eastwards and away from the shelter of Lizard Point and Bass Point. In this wild region, the hills can be difficult but the views are stunning. Spend your final night in the picturesque Coverack with traditional thatched cottages and impressive harbour built from the local serpentine stone. Meals included: Breakfast Day 6 Leave Coverack Depart Coverack after breakfast. Meals included: Breakfast
