Finding a path through the dunes to St. Piran's Oratory
2.13 mi
+108 ft
-89 ft
1h 05
Easy
Departure from Perranzabuloe (Cornwall)
St. Piran is the patron saint of tin miners and Cornwall. A walk into the dunes to where St. Piran landed and built an oratory, and later a church. The walk-in, to be fair, could be seen as a little featureless, making the way through the dunes. Looking deeper, and in the eyes of the beholder, there can be plenty to discover, from the flora and fauna to the historic facts relating to the dunes. To find such historic remains in the middle of the dunes poses many questions, but simple to explain.
