Directions
Starting at the Godrevy National Trust Car Park head North along the South West Coast path. Enjoy the views over the beach and see the lighthouse come into view.
Along the walk keep your eye out for seal’s which appear as black spec’s under the surf or just floating in the sea.
Once you reach Godrevy point continue to follow the South West Coastal Path East along the coast. There are more bays here, between the lighthouse and “The Knavocks” where the seals congregate on the beaches or float and play in the sea.
Continuing past Fishing Cove, with exhilarating views of the cliffs, waves and coast back to St Agnes Beacon and beyond.
Take care along the cliffs as these are crumbling and the paths have been moved back due to recent rock falls.
Enjoy the views of Hell’s Mouth and if you need refreshment why not try Hell’s mouth Cafe just across the road.
From here, you can return via the same path. if you want to venture further just simply keep on the South West Coastal path. Keep an eye on the time, so you can return to the car park before it gets dark though.

At the trig point you can just see over into Mount’s bay on the south coast, with glimpses of the top of St Michael’s Mount. Continue on past the trig point and rejoin the main path. Go through the gate and carry on along the path towards Godrevy headland.
