North Cornwall

The coastal footpath between Porth and Padstow has several monuments (along with some great views). Mostly burial mounds and a couple of cliff forts.

Porth Island (iron age settlement) is well worth a visit. The road to Castle and Dinas is closed at the moment due to the new A30 dual carriage way being finished off, so no buses passing that way.

Ooh, I dunno much about the public transport around Cornwall (cos I normally drive everywhere!) but Holywell Bay's just along from Newquay, and I know there's a bus goes down there fairly regularly. There's agreat walk across the cliffs to Perranporth, and over the dunes, via St Piran's Oratory (rems of) and what is supposedly the remains of first ever church in England (Apologies to the locals - not my words, I promise!) - and a lovely old Celtic cross to boot! A circular walk will bring you back along the road, through Cubert, to Holywell Bay (or wherever you fancy getting the bus back from!)

AND... If you get the tides right, you may be able to see the glorious holy well in the cave at Holywell Bay! :o)
