All of our hiking vacations 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 hikes 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.
Hiking the coast path is very different to hiking on well surfaced, flat roads or rolling hills. The path is uneven, rocky and very hilly in places. An average hiker 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 hiking that leaves most hikers tired but happy.
Category C (13-15 miles/ 21-26 km per day) – a real challenge. Only recommend for experienced distance hikers.
All of our itineraries can be customized to suit you.
