Portreath was originally built to carry ore from the Redruth mines , now it is a popular spot for families and surfers. This walk is part of the South West Coast Path from Portreath to Hells Mouth or further to Godrevy Lighthouse or even onto Lands End along National Trust land. This walk is about 6 miles..
Go up Tregga Hill to the south of Portreath, the path goes inland and up to the cliff path. There is a curious cave called Ralphs Cupboard where smugglers loot used to be stashed.

Off shore is Samphire Island that was farmed for the samphire herb, further on Carvannel Downs, there are two steep down and ups for the waterfall and stream At Porth Cadiack Cove. You then resume along the gorse clad high cliff tops passing above Bassets Cove, Greenbank Cove and Deadman Cove. After a mile you reach Hells Mouth - aptly named for its an awe inspiring cleft in the cliffs. There is a small cafe for that well earned cup of tea.
