Cornwall Walking Holidays

Cornwall gives you two very different coasts. The Atlantic north is wild, with sheer cliffs, surf beaches and villages such as Boscastle and Port Isaac tucked into narrow inlets. The south is gentler: wooded creeks, estuary ferries and working harbours at Falmouth, Fowey and Mevagissey. The South West Coast Path links them, waymarked throughout with an acorn. The walking season runs from March to October, and June is usually the driest month.

Introduction to Cornwall

Cornwall gives you two very different coasts. The Atlantic north is wild, with sheer cliffs, surf beaches and villages such as Boscastle and Port Isaac tucked into narrow inlets. The south is gentler: wooded creeks, estuary ferries and working harbours at Falmouth, Fowey and Mevagissey. The South West Coast Path links them, waymarked throughout with an acorn. The walking season runs from March to October, and June is usually the driest month.
