This is good!
A traditional pub and food, very popular. Although it is within walking distance, (you will pass it on your way in) there are no pavements, but there is plenty of parking at the back of the pub. You could always walk back through Mexico Lane and across the Towans.

This is a personal favourite. Proper traditional vanilla ice cream. I always have a tub with clotted cream and a flake. When we were kids we would see who could make their tub last the longest - the best!
Newlyn is not far from St Michael’s Mount and on the way to Porthcurno. There are also some good fish shops here for freshly caught fish.

There is a boat, so the tides won’t stop you getting there or back. There is a causeway to walk across at low tide. You can eat on the Mount or try the Godolphin for lunch.

If you want a circular walk on the south coast the views are beautiful looking out over the river, it is quite steep on places, but you can choose how much you want to do.
Combine with a visit to the Pandora for a drink and something to eat (16 mins by car). Or go over to St Mawes, (Hotel Tresanton), it is also very picturesque (34 mins by car), this is right beside the ferry crossing which is very picturesque.
