So how do you get to Porthcurno when it's busy in Cornwall? In our video we answer this using our local knowledge and take you to as many Poldark Film Locations in one walk as possible, in the West Penwith area.
Starting in the peaceful village of Treen, we briefly return to the main road before immediately heading to Penberth, used to portray Sawle village in current production of Poldark.
After climbing the steep, zig-zag coastal path towards Porthcurno, we are greeted by stunning views up and down the coast.
After a brief explore of Logan Rock, we head to Porthcurno, used as Nampara beach in the very early episodes. Onward, passing the Minack Theatre and Porthchapel Beach, we head to Porthgwarra, where Ross Poldark took a morning dip with Demelza cheekily watching on.
For a die hard fan, walking towards the Coast Guard station at Gwennap Head will complete the trip, finding the spots used as travelling shots, although we called it quits at Porthgwarra!
Returning via fields to Treen, we think this is the ultimate guide to seeing as many filming locations as possible in one walk whilst trying to avoid the worst of the congestion in this area.
For a detailed, annotated instruction video with extra content of the beautiful Porthchapel Beach, please join us on Patreon. We have also done all of the hard work for you and written out the instructions to screenshot or print out. Please note: mobile signal is poor in this area.

Yes and no to Nudist beach. I’ve been going there for around 30years and it is quite a descent to the beech. Locals such as Doug and Jim use it,besides there is nothing better to shed your clothes and feel comfortable. Heavenly place. St Burean Church and village is where Straw Dogs was filmed in 1972, and has the heaviest bell in this country. Ace vid thank you 🙏

Hi Lori, yeh quite a long edit (about 15 hours I think!) Our fur babies are very well. Our older dog still thinks he can do the walks but he is much safer at home! The younger one loves being an 'only' dog so everyone is happy! Sarah :)

Just wanted to say that this part of the coast is my favourite too and always a must when we are down this way... we'll definitely be there in September 🙌. I usually get my hubby to drop me off at Porthcurno and I walk to Porthgwara to meet him there, as he struggles with hip problems sadly. Such a magnificent part of the coast isn't it 🌅. I might get him to drop me off at Treen this time for a little longer walk... I don't think I've tried that but yet but it looks gorgeous 😍 👌😘

I have some footage from earlier this month of my 5 year old son and 3 year old daughter walking some of the same section of the coastal path between the Minack and Porthgwarra. They absolutely loved it! The landscape is breathtaking and the colours dazzling. It’s such an incredible part of Cornwall and it looks like you’ve chosen a fantastic route.

Can't believe it's 3 years since you did this walk (what a lot has happened during those years) and watching again, I realised just how far this walk actually was! Such lovely scenery along the way, which NEVER changes thankfully. x J x
