The route from St Ives to Pendeen on the SWC Path was one of the most beautiful I have done - in Pendeen there is a pub with great bungalows with sea views - the North Inn.

The path given to follow on the first off-road section is supposed to fork right halfway along. It doesn't! If it is supposed to, it is no longer visible and the area is covered in gorse bushes. The path you take all the way is tricky to ride, having very deep/invisible ruts on either side, so if you get it a few inches wrong, you'll be stopping - very quickly! I'm an intermediate rider and rode half of it and pushed the rest. Still a vaey enjoyable overall ride which we have now done twice and moreconfidently the second time!

The remains of the mine building are right by the road. There is a car park that is a good starting point for hikes. The bus (Lands End Coaster) also passes by regularly.

During the 18th and 19th centuries, Ding Dong Mine was particularly productive. Steam engines were used to drain the mine. Towards the end of the 19th century, Ding Dong Mine's productivity declined due to the depletion of readily accessible ores and increasing international competition. The mine finally closed in 1877, but remained an important part of Cornwall's industrial heritage. Today, Ding Dong Mine is a ruin, protected as a historic monument.

Walking along the coast path it is hard to resist the lure of the stunning white sand of Portheras Cove. You can take a small trail down to explore the beach, owned by the Duchy of Cornwall. Look out for seals who are often spotted in the water.
