Carne Camping

South West Coast Path (Section 21: St Ives to Pendeen)

Follows rugged clifftops with frequent steep ascents and descents over rocky, uneven terrain—definitely not suitable for buggies or young children. Dogs welcome but keep on leads near livestock and cliff edges. Rewards effort with dramatic Atlantic views, ancient mining ruins at Botallack, and glimpses of seals from towering granite headlands. Expect exposed conditions and challenging navigation around Pendeen Watch lighthouse. Proper walking boots essential.

South West Coast Path (Section 22: Pendeen to Sennen Cove)

Follows dramatic clifftop terrain with steep, rugged sections and multiple ascents—challenging rather than family-friendly, unsuitable for buggies. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock and cliff edges. Rewards with stunning Atlantic views, iconic Lands End proximity, ancient mine workings at Botallack, and wild Cornish coastal scenery. Proper footwear essential for rocky, uneven paths and exposed conditions.

South West Coast Path (Section 24: Lamorna to Marazion)

Follows dramatic clifftops with steep ascents and descents through Mousehole, Newlyn, and Penzance, reaching Marazion and views of St Michael's Mount. Rugged, rocky terrain with significant elevation changes makes this unsuitable for buggies and challenging for young children. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock and cliff edges. Combines working harbours, fishing villages, and spectacular coastal scenery with the iconic island castle as your destination—quintessential Cornish coast walking.
