Overview
Creekside and coastal footpaths make for great walking and wildlife spotting. Towan beach at Porth is perfect for children.
On the coast path between Portscatho and St Anthony Head on the Roseland Porth has lots to offer those seeking an outdoor do-it-yourself adventure.
The South West Coast Path goes through here and there are many other paths leading around this part of the penisula, through woods, along the creek and by farmland. Families love the long stretch of beach and people marvel at how it changes with the seasons and storms. Once a very quiet corner of Cornwall the area can now get very busy on hot summer days and we ask drivers to park with care and respecting our neighbours.
There is evidence that Porth has been a farming settlement for at least 700 years. The current nineteenth centrury buildings are now converted into holiday cottages and tenanted cottages and there's a mobile tea van in the old farm yard in the warmer months.

What is Gift Aid?
Most of our places run the Gift Aid on Entry scheme at their admission points.
Under this scheme, if you're not a member you have the choice of two entry tickets:
- Gift Aid Admission
- Standard Admission
If the place runs Gift Aid on Entry, we'll offer you a clear choice between the Gift Aid Admission prices and the Standard Admission prices at the admission point. It's entirely up to you which ticket you choose.
Gift Aid Admission includes a 10 per cent or more voluntary donation. Gift Aid Admissions let us reclaim tax on the whole amount paid - an extra 25 per cent - potentially a very significant boost to our places' funds.
An extra £1 paid under the scheme can be worth over £3 to the National Trust as shown below:
| Gift Aid | Standard | |
|---|---|---|
| Amount paid by visitor | £11.00 | £10.00 |
| Tax refund from Government* | £2.75 | £0.00 |
| Total received by the National Trust | £13.75 | £10.00 |
