Embark on an easy coastal hike around Prussia Cove, starting from Perranuthnoe. This route offers diverse scenery, from the wide sands of Perranuthnoe Beach to the secluded Prussia Cove itself. You will cover 4.1 miles (6.6 km) with a gentle elevation gain of 391 feet (119 metres), typically taking around 1 hour and 49 minutes to complete. Enjoy panoramic views across Mount's Bay towards St Michael's Mount from Cudden Point, and discover the charm of Piskies Cove along the way.
When planning your visit, be aware that sections of the coastal path can become quite muddy, especially after rain, so appropriate footwear is essential. Parking is generally available in Perranuthnoe, making it a convenient starting point for your adventure. Always exercise caution as some parts of the trail run close to unfenced cliff edges. This accessible trail provides a rewarding experience for most skill levels.
This loop offers a glimpse into the area's rich past, particularly its smuggling history. As you follow the South West Coast Path, you will encounter a unique Wishing Post adorned with coins, a distinctive feature of the route. The trail's blend of natural beauty and historical intrigue makes it a notable option for exploring Cornwall's coastline. Consider extending your day by exploring the village of Perranuthnoe after your hike.
