Walk out of the front door, down the road to ladydown lane, left up Ladydown's onto the moor and turn left, follow this towards the coast. You'll know when you're there as you be looking out to sea with ancient stones in every direction; it's breathtaking.

Considered the earliest of the 8 remaining quoits in west Penwith moors (West Cornwall) . A great walk, though consider your foot ware. A 8 minute drive takes you to the car park on the B3318, it's up the hill, though not at the top.
This link is a great read

Max heads up the kitchen and the food is excellent and mostly locally produced. A decent pint of Cornish ale. Well worth a visit. Great views from the garden on a sunny day.

In my opinion having tried 6 chippies in Penzance, Les and his family cook the best in town; think large chunky white cod and crispy soft centred chips, oh my word, very, very good.
It's about 12 minutes from Quoits Cottage, turn right in New Mill and take the back road via Bone Valley and Heamoor.

A short drive to the car park at Chypraze Farm (cost 3gbp) and a beautiful walk down to the cove and beach. Low tide is best but always a fabulous beach to visit.

10 minute drive from Quoits Cottage, parking on the road at Carn Galver Engine house.
Amazing views, steep cliff edges, careful with dogs and children. Huge area away from the edges to explore the remnants of the ancient castle. Sunset and early morning spectacular light.

Breaking the walk into section makes it achievable at a leisurely pace! St. Ives through to Lands End has too many highlights to mention.
Join the path at Zennor and remember the sun will be in front of you as you head south and behind you if you head north, on a sunny day the difference between sunburn or not!

Inland countryside walks
On a windy day up on the coast this walk is the perfect antidote. It's breathtakingly beautiful and a round walk can be done in 2.5 hours, just follow the valley.
