Favourite Walks

The Cornish Coastal Path
Excellent cliff walking, especially on the stretch between Mousehole and Land's End on the south west tip of Cornwall.

Roseland
Spectacular views over the Falmouth estuary. Be sure to visit St Mawes and St Anthony's Head. Best reached by the King Harry ferry.

The Extreme South: Cadgwith and the Lizard Peninsula
The Lizard is the most southerly tip in England. The surrounding countryside and fishing towns are very picturesque.

Fowey Valley
Beautiful creek walks around Polruan.
