Section 1 of the Lands End Coast Path runs 7 miles from St. Ives to Zennor and is graded severe. It is one of the wildest and most challenging on the Cornish Coast Path. Begin with a gentle start through St Ives, passing the Chapel of St Nicholas and Porthmeor Beach, before entering the rugged, boulder-strewn terrain of West Penwith. With no facilities until Sennen, it’s essential to prepare. Dramatic cliffs, wild coves, seal-dotted islets, and mining remnants mark this remote section. Highlights include Seal Island, the ruins of Treveal village, and the vertigo-inducing views from Zennor Head. Finish inland through Bronze Age field systems to reach the atmospheric village of Zennor.
