August 25, 2022,South West Coast Path von St. Ives nach Zennor

Directly from St. Ives there is a very nice section of the South West Coast Path to walk in Cornwell. A constant up and down, sometimes over large stones that have to be overcome, are rewarded with constantly new, fascinating views of beautiful bays and the sea. You can finish the stage in Zennor and take the open top double …

June 10, 2023,🪻SWCP🪻Zennor - St. Ives

This time we were traveling with some people from our class and started under cloudy skies, which didn't detract from the fantastic views from the cliffs out to sea.

Some of the paths were more sporty than three days before, but very manageable.😅

The closer we got to our destination of St. Ives, the more the sun came out...beautiful.

August 29, 2022,Coast walk St Ives to Zennor

This hike is very beautiful and delightful. Parking in Zennor and taking the bus to St Ives is recommended. The tour is rated as easy but has a few more difficult passages over rocks and is constantly up and down. So sturdy shoes are recommended. If the journey is the goal, you should plan 4-5 hours and enjoy the views.

First we followed the Coast Path. It was still low tide in the harbor, but there were already many …

May 22, 2023,SWCP - Etappe 7 - St. Ives -> Zennor

After St. Ives, the path soon changes from asphalt to a mountain path, reminiscent of alpine paths until shortly before Zennor. About 6 km after St. Ives you pass a stone ring, after another 1.5 km you reach a small stream that flows through a notch into "Bowling Cove". Here you will find an idyllic spot to take a break. …
