Nanjizal from Trevescan

How to get to the most secluded mermaid pool

  • 1.5 miles approx, there and back

  • Coastal

  • Cafe & Toilets

Inspired by photos on Instagram of a stunning rock formation and a book called Secret Cornwall, we set out to find Nanjizal Bay.   


Walk through farmland and tracks to reach this special cove, littered with pebbles the size of dinosaur eggs, and a scramble over some hefty rocks, we eventually reach the marvel, the 'Song of the Sea'.  


This walk, is a 'there-and-back' walk. We park in Trevescan, a little hamlet near Lands End, walk via footpaths down to Nanjizal Bay. This walk in total is just over 2 miles.

Our favourite bit of the walk is...

...the stunning beauty of the natural arch formation.
