Mullion Cove to Loe Bar - Coastal Hike Cornwall
Walking the South West Coast Path in Cornwall from Mullion Cove to Loe Bar passing Polurrian Cove, Poldhu Cove and Church Cove.
The lake at Loe Bar is the largest natural freshwater lake in Cornwall.
The bar was naturally formed in the 12th century, before which merchant ships could sail up the estuary as far as Helston.
Although beautiful, the beach at Loe Bar is considered to be one of the most dangerous to swim from in Cornwall because of powerful waves, a very steep slippery shingle bank and vicious currents. Many lives have been lost here over the years.
Kynance Cove to Mullion Cove - Coastal Hike Cornwall

Mullion is a civil parish and village on the Lizard Peninsula in south Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. The nearest town is Helston approximately five miles to the north. Mullion civil parish encompasses the church town (now known simply as Mullion) and four smaller settlements: Mullion Cove and Predannack to the southwest; Trewoon and Meaver to the east.
Mullion is bordered by the parishes of Gunwalloe and Cury to the north, Grade-Ruan to the east, Landewednack to the south, and by Mount's Bay to the west. The parish also includes Mullion Island, a uninhabited island approximately half a mile (0.8 km) offshore from Mullion Cove. The island is home to large colonies of seabirds and is owned by the National Trust.
The parish name has evolved over the years, with references in the parish records to St Mullyon, St Mullian, Mullian, Mullyan, Mulion, Mullyon and St Mullion. In the Valor Ecclesiasticus carried out in 1535 the village name is recorded as Melyan. The parish takes its name from Saint Melaine, the Breton Bishop of Rennes who supposedly took office in 519. He was a man of many aliases including the Latin version, Saint Melanius.
The parish comprises 5,007 acres (20 km2) of land, 8 acres (3.2 ha) of water and 55 acres (22 ha) of foreshore. It is on the Lizard Peninsula, which lies within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Almost a third of Cornwall has AONB designation, with the same status and protection as a National Park. Mullion contains three designated Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) – West Lizard SSSI, Baulk Head to Mullion SSSI and Mullion Cliff to Predannack Cliff SSSI, which includes Mullion Island. Mullion Cliff to Predannack Cliff SSSI is noted for its geological and biological interest and contains ten Red Data Book of rare and endangered plant species. Much of the Lizard National Nature Reserve (NNR) is within the parish boundary. The South West Coast Path, which follows the coast of south-west England from Somerset to Dorset passes by on the cliffs along the western edge of the parish.
The main village of Mullion is situated in the north of the parish, approximately 65 metres above sea level and about 1 mile (2 km) inland of the coast which is to its west. The village sits at the end of two river valleys which run southwest from the village, descending steeply to meet the sea at Polurrian Cove and Mullion Cove. North of the village is a third river valley descending west to east and meeting the sea at Poldhu Cove. This river defines the boundary between Mullion and the neighbouring parish of Gunwalloe. The geology of this part of the parish consists mainly of Hornblende Schists, only changing to slate north of Poldhu Cove. The land around the village and on the upper slopes of the river valleys is mostly fertile land cultivated for arable crops and livestock grazing. The small hamlets of Trewoon and Meaver are situated about half a mile to the east of Mullion village. Today Mullion is the largest village on the Lizard Peninsula and is a centre for local services and amenities as well as a popular tourist destination. Mullion School is the local secondary school.
To the south of the village the land gently rises and levels out onto a plateau at a height of around 85 metres (279 ft) above sea level. In contrast to the northern part of the parish this area remains as semi-natural heath, the growth of which is encouraged by the change in geology south of Mullion Cove to magnesium rich serpentine rock. Known as Predannack Downs, it is part of the Lizard National Nature Reserve. In the centre of the downs lies the World War II, Predannack Airfield, currently a satellite of nearby RNAS Culdrose.
The southern extent of the parish is marked by a steep, narrow river valley cut into the downs, meeting the sea at Kynance Cove. The coastline along the edge of the downs between Kynance Cove and Mullion Cove consists of high dramatic sheer cliffs with the exception of a deep narrow cleft cut into the Downs at Gew-graze, also known as Soapy Cove. This cove is named after Soapstone (or talc), a type of serpentine rock found around the cove. Talc was quarried here in the 18th century.

Kynance Cove past The Lizard to Cadgwith - Coastal Hike Cornwall
Walking the South West Coast Path in Cornwall from Kynance Cove to the small fishing village of Cadgwith, passing The Lizard which is the most southerly point of England.
Cornwall: Quick Tour of the Lizard Peninsula
A quick video tour of some of the highlights of the Lizard Peninsula. There are plenty more but these spots are within easy striking distance of each other.
Starting with the most southerly point in mainland Britain, the Lizard, this film takes in the lighthouse and Housel Bay.
Next stop is the east coast and the fishing village of Cadgwith where thatched roofs line the valley and the beach is the harbour.
From here we fly around some of the most dramatic coastline in Cornwall. Weird and wonderful volcanic sea stacks and turquoise water make Kynance Cove one of the most visited spots on the Lizard Peninsula.
To finish off I went down to the only harbour on the Lizard's west coast, Mullion Cove. Filming was a bit difficult as there were a bunch of (frankly un-picturesque) workmen in fluorescent orange work gear fixing the south pier - so shooting was limited. In addition the wind had picked up so I didn't do any aerial filming which I'd planned.
Good news is I shall be returning when the weather is perfect...

Video includes :
-Polkerris Beach
Though privately owned by the Menabilly Estate, Polkerris Beach is open to the public at all times. A number of waterspots are taught there by the Polkerris Beach Company.
- Par Harbour and China Clay Works
Par harbour was originally constructed in 1829 by Joseph Thomas Treffry to compete against Charlestown to serve the copper industry. On decline of the copper industry the china clay industries grew and used the port to export china clay. Until recently china clay was piped to the harbour in slurry form and dried in the large sheds (driers) before being exported. The harbour closed in 2008 and plans are proposed to build a new marina and residential area.
- The Statue at Par
Is one of three statues on the clay trail paths in Cornwall which depict images connected with the china clay industry.
The statue at Par was designed by Davis Paton following a workshop which involved young people from the local youth club. Carved from sandstone, it focuses on the impact of china clay products in our our daily lives, eg the use of china clay in the production of many items we use daily.
-Spit Beach
After the beach at Par we made our way inland through the village of Par and rejoined the coast path on the west side of the harbour at Spit Beach. (At present there is no public right of way via Par harbour).
- Carylon Bay
A beautiful beach area at present sadly marred by building works. Planning permission is currently in place for a large residential/commercial development but it is constantly being stalled by the developers and the illegal placement of a sea wall. Sadly public access is now restricted.
- Charlestown
The harbour village of Charlestown was a Georgian 'new town', a port development planned by local landowner Charles Rashleigh (after whom it was named) and built between 1790 and 1810 for the export of copper and china clay.
It has survived as a working port and a small amount of china clay is still exported, but today it is more well known as a film location due to the magnificant three square-rigged sailing ships which are moored in the harbour.
Charlestown and its original Grade II Listed Harbour, has largely escaped development and remains one of the finest and most fascinating places on the Cornish coast. Now part of a World Heritage Site, it attracts many visitors each year. (see also our video 'Charlestown' on CCArtsNow channel).
