Embark on the Polperro to Lansallos Circular Walk, a moderate hiking route that guides you along dramatic coastal paths and through serene wooded valleys. This 7.9-mile (12.7 km) journey involves a significant elevation gain of 1132 feet (345 metres), offering expansive views of the English Channel. You can expect to complete this rewarding hike in about 3 hours and 42 minutes, experiencing a varied landscape that includes the picturesque Polperro Harbour and the tranquil West Coombe.
When planning your visit, be aware that sections of the path can become muddy, especially after rain, so sturdy walking boots are highly recommended. You will encounter steep slopes and steps, particularly on the stretch from Lansallos to East Coombe. The trail runs close to cliff edges in places, so exercise caution, especially if you are hiking with children or dogs. Consider starting earlier in the day to fully enjoy the scenery and avoid potential crowds.
This trail is notable for its blend of rugged coastal beauty and sheltered woodland. As you hike, you will discover hidden coves and the sandy beaches at Lansallos Cove, which provide a perfect spot for a scenic break. The route offers a unique perspective on Cornwall's diverse landscape, combining the charm of a historic fishing village with the wild grandeur of the coastline.
