If you are coming here to be peaceful, walk the coastal path and go to the local beach then it's fine to have no car. However, if you want to explore further afield I would recommend hiring a car because the bus timetables can severely restrict your movements, particularly in the evenings. To find out more about bus times in the area look on www.travelinesw.com.
Arriving on foot from the coastal path at Treeve Moor House, Land's End: There is a footpath which goes directly past Treeve Moor from Sennen Cove, or from Nanjizal which can be clearly seen on the map, or you can walk up from Land's End on the A30 and I am the first house on the left OPPOSITE the turning to Porthcurno. The house is situated at SW353 251.
