East towards Maenporth and Falmouth beyond
Heading east from Durgan, initially along a short stretch of quiet road, the footpath leads through meadows and woodland areas, following the coastline to Rosemullion Head where the Helford River meets Falmouth Bay. The route is especially charming in spring when an abundance of wild flowers often line the footpath. As the route heads towards Falmouth it's easy to spot iconic local landmarks such as St Anthony's Lighthouse and Pendennis Castle in the distance.
Following this route there are various coves and beaches to be explored which are accessible from the coast path, including Grebe Beach, a 5 minute walk from Durgan, as well as Porth Saxon Beach and Prisk Cove further round towards Rosemullion Head. All beaches are dog friendly year round.
