세인트 고란 최고의 러닝 경로

Great coffee in the Lugger Inn.

Here is a trail run on the coastal path that requires concentration

The coast here is no longer as spectacular as north of Land's End, but it still has its charms.

When it comes to the beach, you have to pay attention to the tides, which can make it very small.

The three white houses on Chapel Point were built in the 1930s and feature in Daphne Du Maurier's novel 'The House on the Strand'.

Portmellon is a very small village and cove. The road closely hugs the sandy beach, which is completely covered by the sea at high tide. There is a snack shack in the beach carpark and a pub next door if you are in need of sustenance. If you approach Portmellon from the South West you will see the 'Beware Waves' sign on your left. Take heed on stormy days as the waves crash right over the road and can even hit the houses.

There is plenty of trail running from Gorran Haven in both directions, including circular routes. The fishing village has a few shops and a picturesque harbour and makes a great start/finish point or stopover on a longer run.

Look west to Portloe and you can easily see why this small walled area of land was created. A watchman was stationed up here to spot smuggling activity, which was rife in this tiny harbour. The vantage point here would have given a very clear view of everything that was going on.
