Parks & Nature

Walk part of the old Tinners Way along the coast path to Zennor or follow the train route to Carbis Bay Beach and Lelant, fantastic views and you might spot the pods of dolphins that swim through regularly. Be aware the Zennor route is very challenging for some. Many guests get a bus one way, which runs regularly. Personally, I prefer to walk from Zennor as the views are astounding over St Ives when you get closer.
