Godrevy Accessible Coastal Walk

This route takes us along part of the South West Coast Path and starts from the Godrevy National Trust Car Park (TR27 5ED). There are also two other parking areas just up from here should there be no spaces. There are eight disabled parking bays and disabled toilets are further along near the second car park.

From the car park you will follow the coastline on a slightly gravel terrain until you get to a boardwalk. Continue on this. This is slightly raised so take care. Taking in the views of the long stretch of sand of Hayle beach to the left. Just stunning

Passing the small car park to your right, taking you by the disabled toilets and passing the large grass car park to your left. This has a barrier that is shut early in the evening – so if you do park here make sure you’re back at your car with plenty of time to spare. There is also often an ice cream van there too – a perfect treat before or after your walk.

One of the joys of the coast path is the stunning views offered pretty much all the way along. On this section we have amazing views of the famous Godrevy lighthouse on its island, looking very majestic.

Following the pathway to the right leading you up a slight slope to where the seals are sunbathing. They can be in their hundreds in winter. Continuing to the right on another slight slope. There is a gap to manoeuvre through and then you just stay on the pathway. A lot of work has gone into this pathway and you just can’t get enough of the spectacular views. Just incredible.

Being the coastal path it is exposed to the elements and so you should go dressed and prepared for the conditions of the day.

This is a point to point walk – from the end point you can either retrace your route back to you car or consult your trusty map to get you on to your next destination.

For those of you who are also wheelchair users – you’ll find that the terrain is gravel and grass with slight inclines in places. I did this with my electric wheelchair and managed well.

In the car park you’ll find a lovely cafe with great food options. There are a few seats inside, upstairs or the option of staying outdoors with a porch to sit under.

It’s safe to say that this is my happy place – it’s a great coastal route that will certainly blow any cobwebs away!
