After spending the first few days discovering the coast east of St Ives, from today you follow the Coastal Path westwards. Today's stage is characterized by constant ups and downs along bizarre rock formations high above the sea; some sections are rocky and steep. But the effort is rewarded with fantastic views of the sea and the plateaus. At the end of the stage you reach the small village of Zennor, where it is worth visiting the church and the pub. From here take the double-decker panoramic bus back to St. Ives.

In the morning you take the bus back to Zennor, where you continue the hike along the coastal path. Rocky cliffs and many ascents and descents make for a challenging hike in sections. A colorful carpet of broom and orchids blooms in the meadows and provides the right splash of color over the blue sea. A stop at the sandy beach of Portheras is tempting, as are the rest benches at the panoramic spot at the lighthouse. In the afternoon, discover Geevor's historic tin mines with their characteristic chimneys. Visit the museum grounds before catching the bus to St Ives.

Visit the remote coastal monitoring station where you will learn interesting maritime facts.
