Porthleven Harbour

Highlight • Settlement

A visit to the port of Porthleven is especially worthwhile in the early morning hours. Especially in the spring you have the chance to be completely alone and to watch the boats close in the fog. If it gets a bit rougher, even surfers around the pier romp about. The waves then pile up so tight that you can plunge into Brett (and Wetsuite!). Who likes himself.

On the metal fence is the first line of a song "Abide with me, fast falls the eventide" and below that the notes. Some research tells me that "Abide with Me" is a Christian hymn by Scottish Anglican clergyman Henry Francis Lyte. A prayer to God to remain with the speaker throughout his life and death was written by Lyte in 1847 as he was dying of tuberculosis. It is usually sung to the tune "Eventide" by English organist William Henry Monk. You can listen to this on youtube sung by Audrey Assad

St Michael's Mount Causeway

Highlight • Historical Site

Follow an ancient cobbled causeway over the water to the magnificent St Michael's Mount in West Cornwall.

The causeway is only safe to cross for a few hours at low tide, so it's essential to check the tide times before visiting. cornwalls.co.uk/weather/marazion-tide-times.htm

View of St Michael's Mount

Highlight • Viewpoint

Throughout Marazion and the wider area you have beautiful views of St Michaels Mount. After all, this castle on an island off the coast dominates the entire bay, called Mount's Bay

A bench in the middle of a lush green meadow at the intersection of three roads: an ideal place to catch your breath before continuing your ride.

Great view of the coastline down to Penzance in one direction, with the mine workings at Rinsey.

To the south, you can see the Lizard Peninsula.
