Routes by region
Running routes in West Cornwall
The far granite west, from the St Ives coast round toward Land's End and the Penwith moors. Older, rougher ground: mining cliff, boulder steps and coast path that stays technical long after the distance says it should ease off. This is some of the most committing running on the site.
