Overview

Join us for an old favourite with a different ending. We will walk on the cliffs towards St Agnes Head, climb the Beacon the least steep way, drop in to Chapel Coombe then walk up the valley to Mingoose and over to Banns Vale. A steep climb to Tywarnhayle Mine leads us on to Porthtowan.  After lunch we will walk to Chapel Porth along the wet sand as the tide is very low.
