Grab your walking boots and get ready to explore
Cornwall really is all about the spectacularly great outdoors. No Cornish adventure is complete without having a good old stomp in the rolling hills and countryside. Or exploring the South West Coast Path and its breathtaking views. We really hope you’ll find time to squeeze in both and so much more besides. To help you find your way, we’ve pulled together some of our favourite walks.
Whether you’re in need of a long, languorous ramble across the fields, a wander through vast woodland to do a little wildlife spotting or to fill your lungs with glorious Cornish sea air, we have something right up your street.
