Walking in Cornwall
Sheltered creeks, wooded valleys and quieter coves along the south coast around Fowey, Polruan and the River Fowey.
Daphne du Maurier country – hidden coves, a Tudor castle, the red-and-white Gribbin daymark and the old pilchard harbour of Polkerris.
Secluded coves, white sand beaches and crystal-clear water on one of the loveliest stretches of the south Cornish coast.
A delightful walk in all seasons, away from the crowds – wooded valleys clothed in bluebells in spring and a riverside church on the Fowey.
An Iron Age earthwork, a granite cross on the highest headland on Cornwall’s south coast, and two of the loveliest beaches between Mevagissey and the Roseland.
A short, rewarding loop from one of Cornwall’s best-loved fishing villages – smuggling tales, a clifftop war memorial and the two sheltered coves of Talland Bay.
Lighthouse, Victorian gun battery and some of the finest estuary views in Cornwall – a walk round the very tip of the Roseland Peninsula.
