Cornwall Walks
Consisting of a dramatic landscape made up of rocky, jagged, and mist-covered shores, Cornwall is a fantastic destination to explore an ancient part of Britain that is steeped in natural beauty and cultural history. Well-known for its mild climate and seaside resort towns, much of the region is accessible by foot year-round, making it an ideal place to get off the beaten path on your next great walking excursion.
Countless day-walks can be found in the region that cater to all skill levels and will take you to interesting historical or cultural sites like Tintagel Castle (said to be the birthplace of the legendary King Arthur) or Land’s End (the southwesternmost part of England). For those walkers that want a taste of the extreme, 330.0mi of the 630.0mi long South West Coast Path - the longest national trail in the UK - can be found in Cornwall, offering a physically challenging and strikingly beautiful way to experience the Cornish coast. Whether you are a beginner walker or a seasoned adventurer, you can rest assured that you will find the perfect trail on your next walking journey in Cornwall.
