Coastal Road Near Portreath

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

A lovely flat road following the coast. Fields either side and the sea to your right and all under Cornwall's huge open skies. Gorgeous.

Hell's Mouth Cliffs

Highlight • Natural Monument

From the cliffs above Hell’s Mouth, you get a spectacular view out to sea. The dark cove, situated underneath a sheer rock face, has been the subject of much tragedy and legend over the years. Don't step too close to the edge of these ominous cliffs to get a better view as there have been many landslides, including a time when 110,000 tons of earth and rock collapsed into the sea — and was caught on camera.
