We camp at https://trevessafarmcamping.co.uk/ (£20) near St.Earth on the first night and leave our vehicles there. The second night is the Premier Inn at Helston (£48) which is a couple of miles detour from the route owning to lack of accommodation.

Heading clockwise around the top half of the loop up towards Redruth beore heading south to Constantine and Gweek, where we then divert off a few miles to the Hotel.
