Cornish Way
The Cornish
Way runs for 180 miles from Land's End to Holsworthy, passing through
historic towns, fishing villages and beautiful countryside on the
way. Heading for Penzance from Land's End, the route passes, via the
fishing village of Mousehole, through ancient Cornish countryside,
with maginificent views over Mount's Bay and the island of St Michael's
Mount. Heading inland the route then passes through areas rich in
Cornwall's tin mining heritage - Hayle, Camborne and Redruth. At the
cathedral city of Truro, the route splits into two, one to the north
coast and one through the south, both meeting at Bodmin. |
