Perfect location, overlooking the estuary. Very popular, so be prepared to queue.

Great view while eating

Starts at NT car park and is a gentle cliff top amble.

You might not usually need a pub on a run, but this one is worth looking out for purely for its gruesome name, 'Bucket of Blood'. As a smuggling area, legend has it that a bucket of blood was pulled up from the well after a customs official was killed and his body tossed in it. Others say the murder victim was a smuggler. Look out for the well. It's still there just near the pub. Are you brave enough to look in...?

Mexico Towans is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). It is named after 'towans', the Cornish word for sand dunes and possibly the tin mine, Wheal Mexico, but no one knows for sure. After the collapse of the mining industry, many miners emigrated to Mexico so this may also be a link.

Hayle Towans beach is the most westerly part of the vast expanse of sand that stretches for three miles to Godrevy in the west. It is backed by beautiful sand dunes and welcomes dogs all year round if you have a pooch with you who likes to let off steam while you run.

The coast path passes tantalising close to the huge St Ives Bay which stretches from here at Godrevy ad Gwithian all the way to St Ives Head in the east.

Not pram friendly.
