Bassets Cove Coastal Path Accessible Walk

This route takes us along part of the South West Coast Path – and I absolutely loved it! The starting point is the Basset Cove Car Park (TR14 0HE) – it’s worth noting that the car park isn’t signposted so you will need to use your sat-nav to find it (and keep an eye out for some large pot holes that I encountered!). When you get there – it’s a free car park on a hilltop that offers some amazing views out to sea. There are some other car parks along the way if you’d prefer a shorter walk.

The route starts with a little climb – but I managed it ok in my electric wheelchair. After the climb the route levels out, giving you the opportunity to really enjoy the views on offer – they are stunning! The terrain is good and well kept – but we did have to turn around and retrace our steps back as the onward path towards Godrevy isn’t yet accessible. However – if you are on foot and want a slightly longer walk, do keep going before turning back!

There aren’t any toilets or refreshment stops on the walk – but I do recommend the Tehidy Woods Cafe which is fairly close. Alternatively, about a 10 minute drive away is the National Trust car park at Godrevy where there are accessible toilets and a lovely little cafe that has delicious food and outdoor seating. If you’re lucky you may also get to see some of the local seals sunbathing!
