an easy walk from penzance (or marazion) that gives great views across mounts bay to st michael's mount, the lizard and mousehole. it is especially good in autumn, when the bird reserve at marazion attracts rare migrants such as bitterns and water rails, and the flocks of swallows hunting flying ants sometimes draw the attention of a passing hobby, an unusual bird of prey. this walk is particularly good for dogs as it passes a beach and pubs where dogs are welcome. have a look at our top dog walks on the south west coast path for more dog friendly beaches and pubs. -
