St Ives branch line to Lelant!

Have you ever taken the St Ives branch line train between St Erth and St Ives? It is one of the prettiest train routes in the uk, as it hugs the coast, passes beaches and tiny rural stations.

We join the train at St Ives, alighting at Lelant, a request stop. This is where you have to let the conductor know that you would like the train to stop! From Lelant station, we join the road, to Lelant Church, unusual in its position so close to the Hayle estuary and with far reaching views. After passing through West Cornwall golf course we cross the vast expanse of Porthkidney Beach, joining the coastal path back to St Ives.
