A 7 mile circular walk from Holywell Bay along the rugged coastline to Perran Beach and across the dunes to the Dark Ages relics of St Piran's Oratory, Church and Cross, returning via the Penhale Sands nature reserve which is carpeted in cowslips during spring.
The walk starts from Holywell Bay where the Holy Well can be seen at low tide. The route rounds the rugged coast around Penhale Head and Hobyln Cove to reach Ligger Point where there are panoramic views over Perran Beach and the St Agnes coastline. The walk follows the beach then climbs the dunes to St Piran's Oratory, church and cross which date back to the Dark Ages. The return route is across the Penhale Sands dune system which is nationally important for its wildflowers and butterflies.
Highlights:
- The Holy Well - an amazing natural series of basins created from dissolved seashells
- Long, sandy beaches of Holywell and Perran
- Rugged coastline around Hoblyn's Cove
- Panoramic views from the coast path
- St Piran's Oratory - thought to be the oldest religious building in mainland Britain
- St Piran's Cross - thought to be over 1000 years old
- Remains of St Piran's Church, itself nearly as old
- Penhale Sands - the tallest dunes in Britain and largest in Cornwall
