Poldhu Cove to Cury

A circular walk via some of the mediaeval farmsteads on the west of The Lizard to the ancient churchyard of Cury from the coves of Mullion and Gunwalloe where the wrecks of treasure ships still lie.

The iWalk Cornwall app includes a map of the route showing your location on it and which way you are facing. It also includes detailed hand-written directions for the route physically checked and kept updated by ourselves and a group of volunteers, and information about the wildlife and history at each point along the route. Use the link below to download the app (free to download) and search in the "walks shop" section to purchase the walk.

OS Explorer maps are a useful addition for navigating around any temporary obstacles or short-cutting routes, bearing in mind that in Cornwall, some paths shown on the OS maps are obstructed, non-existent or don't correspond to the actual location of the path on the ground.

OS Landranger maps are not recommended as these don't show field boundaries, making it very difficult to locate paths (waymarking in Cornwall is often very poor once you venture off the coast path).
