Falmouth walks

Perhaps an out-of-season walk, taking advantage of the winter free parking and fewer visitors to the area. Walking along the seafront towards Pendennis Point, with the opportunity to visit Pendennis Castle, the Gyllyngdune Gardens, a sub-tropical garden with plant species referenced to Charles Darwin's travels, and his association with Falmouth. There are many interesting artifacts, which make this walk all the more interesting. On the return, walking through the Queen Mary Garden.

A coastal path walk to one of the best coves on the south coast of Cornwall, Maenporth. Where the golden sands meet the crystal clear waters. The path passes a memorial dedicated to the local home guard. Although returning the same way, there is an option to take the route across the golf course, offering a different perspective.

This very short walk is the easiest way to discover Pendennis castle from outside the main ramparts overlooking the stunning Fal estuary and St Anthony Head.

A circular walk starting and finishing at Maenporth, the car park is now pay and display. The walk will follow designated footpaths, cross some roads, and also along residential pavements. I have suggested this walk to be a 'Moderate' walk as there are some stiles to negotiate, and the time is also dependent on personal pace.

A Circular walk starting in the small Cornish village of Mawnan Smith, through some woodland, and onto the South West Coast Path, taking in the coastal views before returning to Mawnan Smith.

This walk using ways in the countryside inland and along the South West Coast path provides a way to discover beautiful beaches as Maenporth or Nansidwell. You will enjoy as well views from Toll Point and Rosemullion Head.

Enjoy this peaceful and flat path around Argal Reservoir overlooked by the lovely Mabe Church.

This pleasant circular walk uses peaceful paths and footbridges along the reservoir and goes across meadows inland during the second part.

This is a circular walk between two public houses, each offering its own historical charm. Leaving the small village of Mylor Bridge and walking out to Weir Point before following the estuary up to Restronguet Passage, where there is the Pandora Inn, a 13th-century thatched public house, a convenient place to stop, and enjoy the surroundings, before heading inland and the Lemon Inn. This circular walk sounds like a pub crawl, but it is a really nice walk, with many interesting finds.

A circular walk in the Mylor Bridge area that leads out to Mylor Churchtown. Walking mainly on country lanes, with a section down through a wooded valley, which in the spring is full of bluebells. Walking through the churchyard, and seeing the magnificent old yew tree and the memorial of HMS Ganges, before ending up at the marina. The route then follows Mylor Creek back to the start.

This pleasant circular walk mainly along the coast offers some beautiful views over the Percuil River, Falmouth and visiting St Mawes on your way.

A short but scenic walk in Cornwall that uses a section of the South West Coast Path and also explores the countryside inland. The route uses paths and tracks and is ideal for a leisurely half day walk.

This short walk is the perfect way to discover the very famous St just's church (13th century), incredible gardens and surroundings hills offering viewpoints over the River Fal estuary.

This pleasant walk situated at the southernmost tip of the Roseland peninsula provides a way to discover the artillery batteries on this headland, Towan and Molunam Beach. You will enjoy viewpoints over the mouth of River Fal, Pendennis Castle, Falmouth harbour and St Mawes as well.

This pretty walk mainly using a section of the South West Coast path explores Helford Point and Dennis Head but also nice hidden coves along Helford estuary!

A circular walk that follows a stream up through woodlands. From the small village, walking down the lane to the stream, then entering the woodland, discovering some of the mining past, which nature is claiming back.

This short circular walk provides a way to discover pleasant woods around Trelissick Garden including Lamouth Creek and nice viewpoints over the Fal River.

This circular walk provides a way to discover Flushing and Gillan creek past the first section in farmland (many stiles). Then you will enjoy views from the South West Coast path around Nare Point.

A loop walk around some interesting 'place names' like Come-to-Good, Playing Place, Porthkea, and Penelewey, with some interesting finds. The route is mainly on usually quiet country lanes, although walking along country lanes, there is still plenty to see.

The walk starts in a car park near the Travelodge, a small parking area nearest the main road, there are no parking restrictions (at the time of writing). The walk follows designated footpaths, country roads, and crosses a main road. The walk has been rated as 'Moderate' due to the walk back up the hill to finish. Timing is only a guide, and time should added for height gain, and exploring the area.

This circular walk with a few ascents and descents explores this coast section out of the South West Coast path and rarely frequented leading to Porthallow.
