The Cornish coast path runs around the outside of the Park, giving plenty of opportunities for walks. Mevagissey is about 3 miles to the south along the cliffs, and the walk along the coast path is breathtaking.   At Mevagissey both fishing trips and Sea Safari rides are available and there are many excellent restaurants in the Village. Flowers of all types can be seen on the cliff faces, and the birdlife is plentiful.
