Skipping the poor weather this week Saturday is shaping up to be a sunny day. There has been a heavy ground sea thumping all of Friday night and the big surf here this morning attracting a large crowd both in and out of the water.

We take a walk to Breage and head for the coast path coming out at the "Slinches" and a great view of the old mine workings at Trewavas. The coast pans out nearer we get back to Porthleven. Our last photo is over at the rocks of Breageside and the SSSI "Giants Quoit" or "Moonstone" erratic. worth a closer look at low tide.

In between Christmas and New Year we did the 5 1/4 mile coast path walk from Poldhu Cove back to Porthleven. Poldhu the setting for Sherlock Holmes story The Adventure of the Devils Foot. Above the photos start with the neighbouring cove of Gunwalloe Church Cove. Around this eventually we come to the end of the beach and Gunwalloe Fishing Cove and follow the cliff path back to Porthleven.

 Welcome to Porthleven

We are a local family business offering a selection of seven of our own individual self-catering accommodation sleeping up to 7 persons in the beautiful harbour village with 3 miles of beach, of Porthleven.

 

We are ideally positioned along the coastal Loe Bar Road. Where is this? Have a look at Contact Us for our location and village maps. But they are grouped together on or around the cliff top, overlooking the beach and Mounts Bay.

 

We have parking for each property in our own off road car park, which is only a minutes walk from all the Accommodation.

 

Steps to the to the beach are only 40 metres away, which is ideal for swimming or a stroll on the sands. And it is only a few minutes walk down to the pier and centre of the village and harbour side, which is surrounded by a variety of cafes, shops, bakery, restaurants and pubs.

 

Porthleven is also an excellent holiday base for seeing this part of Cornwall. To the west, Penzance and Lands End. The east, the Lizard Peninsula. Inland the attractive cathedral city of Truro.

 

If you want to leave the car behind, then for walking or cycling, its out of your front door and onto the coast path or Cornish lanes. Heading either east or west  with spectacular views all around. Look at our "Walking and Cycling Cornwall" page.

 

What else is there to do here? If you don't fancy a stroll about the harbour and shops, a coastal ramble, scenic drive, swimming, sunbathing and playing on the beach on the beach, fishing or boat trip or taking it too easy. Then look at our "What's On?" guides for events happening in Porthleven and west Cornwall.
