Cornwall has always been a favorite holiday destination and its dramatic coastline, picturesque villages, vibrant culture and sumptuous cuisine. For visitors who visited the region, the benefits of a Cornish holiday need no explaining, but for our international friends who have yet to explore outside of London, a visit to Cornwall will give you a taste very different from English life. In this article I describe one of my favorite walks in Cornwall and many recommend it to anyone visiting the region.
Parts of the walk between St Agnes and the valley of Jericho, have been beaten so often by my sturdy shoes, they know practically their own way. One of my favorite stretches of coastal path for its spectacular views over the turquoise waters of the vast expanse of beach at Penhale, silk has always salt suspended in the air, the cliffs lined with a mosaic gorse, heather and economy, the more conveniently connects my house to the beach, the pub and my favorite seaside restaurant.
St. Agnes was once a center of mining activity, the relics are everywhere in this walk. Today, it is still an active town with community spirit, friendly people with a strengthened during the summer by the visitors attracted by the charm of the unspoilt village, its beautiful coastline and popular beach. The village is well equipped for walkers, with some lovely quintessentially English cottages and hotels (http://www.cornwalltoday.co.uk/Accommodation/Bed+and+Breakfast/Newquay+and+Perranporth.aspx), and some superb restaurants which take advantage of Cornwall fantastic local produce.
On this walk you'll first head south on the coastal path up a fairly steep climb away from the picturesque Cove Trevaunance. Just above the beach if you peer down at low tide, you'll see scattered stones of the ancient port of walls, deposited when storms swept it in 1915 to 1916. During a high tide with a slight swell, you can see one or two joints of residents to look.
Continuing along the coast road, you'll be rewarded with a fantastic view - Beware however, some drops are quite sheer in places. You'll pass a number of capped mine shafts and a couple of benches where you can enjoy the view of Bawden Rocks, also known as the man and his rights. All swimmers were daring the village swimming the mile on this rock and back.
After about half a mile along the coast path you head inland and towards the Beacon Hill 192 meters high, which overlooks St Agnes. The legend says that a giant called Bolster could stand with one foot on the tag and the other on Carn Brea six miles. If you fancy a detour then trek up to him for fantastic views of Padstow in the north to the clay country and south of St Ives.
Otherwise, the road runs along the bottom of the tag, then follows a path of St Agnes village. Here, people were busy in their daily business will be brushing shoulders with day trippers and holidaymakers. Stop for a navigation around some of the fascinating arts and crafts galleries, or pause for a coffee outside the St Agnes Hotel. If you want to spend the night there is a beautiful vacation rental in the region, and a very high level of local pubs and restaurants.

Then you'll see the odd line of cottages sea captain who is known as Stippy-Stappy, then follow the road for a short time before going down the left Trevell Combe. After a clear stream flowing through the woods, you'll pass the isolated Jericho Cottage, which belonged the famous Cornish artist John Opie. Near here, we had a scare when a snake glided across the path before us.
You emerge from the valley at Blue Hills Tin St.
