The Limes

South West Coast Path (Section 31: Portloe to Mevagissey)

Traces dramatic clifftop terrain with steep, sustained ascents and descents between fishing villages, passing Nare Head's windswept promontory and secluded coves. Challenging for experienced walkers only—not suitable for buggies or young children due to exposed cliff edges, narrow paths, and significant elevation changes. Dogs welcome but must be under close control near livestock and cliff drops. Rewards effort with spectacular coastal panoramas, hidden beaches, and quintessential Cornish harbo

South West Coast Path (Section 32: Mevagissey to Par)

Follows dramatic clifftops and sandy coves along Cornwall's south coast with steep, challenging ascents and descents throughout. Not suitable for buggies or young children due to uneven coastal paths, exposed cliff edges, and significant elevation changes. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock and cliff sections. Delivers stunning sea views, secluded beaches including Pentewan Sands, and classic Cornish coastal scenery that makes the demanding terrain worthwhile for experienced walkers.

South West Coast Path (Diversion West of Charlestown)

Diverts inland from the main coastal trail near Charlestown, tackling moderate climbs through fields and quiet lanes with glimpses of St Austell Bay. Suitable for older children comfortable with stiles and uneven ground, though not buggy-friendly due to gates and potentially muddy sections. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Offers a quieter alternative to the main coast path with rural Cornish character and decent sea views from higher points.
