About
A long but fascinating South West Coast Path walk for the enthusiast, around Penhale Point and through the dunes at Penhale Sands. The 5th century missionary St Piran is said to have washed up here on his millstone after he was banished from Ireland, and the walk visits the remnants of his oratory, as well as various other holy sites attached to his name. A good route in spring.
