Gillan Creek (St Anthony in Meneage) to Lizard via Porthallow, Porthoustock, Coverack, Poltesco, Cadgwith.
Low Tide stepping stones to cross Gillan Creek at start. Great variety including a walk through an old gabbro quarry with moorland and cliff tops.
SW Coast Path: Note Low Tide crossing of Gillan Creek.
Another one of my top 20 walks with great variety and the landmark at the Southern most tip of the British mainland to aim for. The walk is quite tough due to combination of miles covered, the terrain and over 4,500 ft of ascent.
My Rank: *****
