The walk then heads south along the undulating cliff top path to Porth Nanven in the wildlife rich Cot Valley before coming to the lovely Sennen Cove. You continue to Land's End, passing the beautiful beaches at Whitesand Bay on the way. Here you can pick up the Land's End Trail which runs for over 300 miles to Avebury in Wiltshire.
