Wheal Coates to Trevaunance Cove to St Agnes Beacon

We parked the car at the National Trust car park at Wheal Coates.  We started walking down towards Chapel Porth before picking up the South West Coast Path.  the heather was out, so the countryside was looking beautiful.

Looking down to Chapel Porth

Having walked down to Trevaunance Cove we then walked up to St Agnes and through the village and up to St Agnes Beacon.  The views from the top were lovely. We made our way down in the direction of the car, but there did not seem to be a direct path.  We asked a dog walker and he told us to walk through a field, which was a permitted path even though there was a sign "Bull in the field"  We walked quickly through it to the car park.

Perranport to St Agnes,and around Lands End and Bedruthan Steps

These are walks that we did at the begninning of August.  I wrote about it in my Holiday blog, but forgot to put details in this blog.  So although I am adding it in September it is over month out of date.

From Perran Sands Caravan Sit we walked across the dunes into Perranporth and then followed the South West Coast Path along to St Agnes.  There was a lot of remains of mine working and the path was was rough with stones some of the time.  The heather and gorse was out and the colours were vibrant and made the coastline even more attractive.

  The walk was mainly flat until near the end, where there was a steep hill down, then a steep climb up the other side and we had to climb up a hill to get to St Agnes village to catch the bus back.

The next day we caught the train to St Ives then the Open Top Bus to Lands End.  From there
 we set off  to walk along the south of the Coast Path.  Again there was heather and gorse to make the scenery even more spectacular.  We walked until we came to a slope heading down a valley.  We could see a steep climb up the other side so decided it was time to turn around.

On our way home we stopped at Bedruthan Steps and walked from the car park in both directions along the coast path.  There was not any heather on the path towards and around Park Head but in the other direction there was a lovely display.
