Overview

A beautiful varied walk starting from Helston Fairground Car Park. The route will take us alongside the Loe and around Carminowe Creek before cutting inland to Gunwallow Fishing Cove. We will then follow the coast path to Porthleven and then back to Helston through the Penrose Estate. A moderate walk with spectacular views and ever changing scenery.
