All of our walking holidays are self-led or self-guided – the best way to see Cornwall at your own pace. No strangers, no timetable and nothing to organise apart from your meals.
Our walks follow the spectacular South West Coast Path. We operate over 170 miles of stunning coastline from Padstow on Cornwall’s north coast to Falmouth on its south coast. Every beach, cliff, harbour and headland is covered.
We also offer a unique opportunity to explore the moors and prehistoric sites of West Cornwall.
Walking the coast path is very different to walking on well surfaced, flat roads or rolling hills. The path is uneven, rocky and very hilly in places. An average walker will cover just 8 to 10 miles of coast path in five hours (excluding breaks).
Category A (6-9 miles/ 11-16 km per day) – more time to enjoy the views and to spend time exploring the towns and villages.
Category B (10-12 miles/ 14-19 km per day) – a full day walking that leaves most walkers tired but happy.
Category C (13-15 miles/ 21-26 km per day) – a real challenge. Only recommend for experienced distance walkers.
All of our itineraries can be customised to suit you.
