day trip to Isles of Scilly
You make your own way to Penzance. We can assist with coach transfers if necessary. Car parking is available for the duration of the walk.
You start your walking holiday on the South West Coast Path by heading for Marazion and St Michael's Mount. If the tide is out you can walk there across the causeway, or take the ferry. Not to be missed! Then you walk the St Michael's Way north across the peninsular to Leland. This path was one of the routes used by pilgrims on route from Ireland to Italy.
There are stunning views of Carbis Bay as you head towards St Ives. Then you walk along the most deserted and wildest stretch of the South West Coast Path. On a clear day you can see as far back as St Agnes Beacon. Seals can sometimes be sighted on The Carracks.
You begin today's walk around Gurnard's Head which was once an Iron Age settlement. The lighthouse at Pendeen Watch is in view for most of the day and there is plenty of industrial archaeology to poke around. Levant Beam Engine and Geevor Tin Mine are both worth a visit. On a clear day from Cape Cornwall you can see the Scilly Isles.
Cape Cornwall is where the Atlantic Ocean meets the English Channel. You are now heading in a southerly direction towards Land's End across Whitesand Bay and Sennen Cove. After Land's End you start going south-east and before arriving in Porthcurno you can visit the Minack Open-air Theatre.
The Telegraph Museum is worth a visit before leaving Porthcurno. The walking route goes through Mousehole, pronounced "Mouzel", a quaint fishing village, then you walk around Mounts Bay via Newlyn back to Penzance.
A day trip on the Scillonian from Penzance to St Marys in the Isles of Scilly.
Enjoy the peaceful town of Hugh Town and a gentle stroll around St Marys. Sailing times to and from the Isles of Scilly vary according to tides and so if the sailing times are not favourable to making the most of your day on the Isles of Scilly this day trip to the Isles of Scilly will be rescheduled for day 2 of the itinerary.
Alternatively have a rest day in Penzance and/or visit the many gardens in the area.
We can transfer you to the train or coach station, or stay an extra night to explore the area.
