A walk guaranteed to blow away the cobwebs whilst taking in the spectacular scenery of the Roseland Peninsula.
Once in St Mawes catch the small pedestrian Place ferry across to Place Creek.
After jumping off the ferry at Place House follow the South West Coast Path, which will take you along the shore line to St Anthony Head. At the southern most tip of the Roseland Peninsula the headland overlooks the spectacular entrance to one of the world's largest natural harbours.
Take some time to enjoy the view and explore the newly revealed remains from centuries of defensive fortifications.
After rounding the headland follow the coastal path until you reach Porthbeor beach, then turn inland across the field and return to Place Creek on the road.
