Difficulty

Cornwall is a rural county with most footpaths rough and occasionally muddy. As a county of innovators and engineers many gates and stiles are creative and may require a clamber. Expect some ascent on most of the walks.

Must See

Lively surf towns, quaint fishing villages and towering cliffs. Miles of golden sand and irresistible secluded coves. Centuries-old pubs providing cosy sanctuary against coastal storms. Relaxed woodland walks along quiet muddy creeks. Arthurian legend, magic and myth

By Phil Turner

Phil Turner lives in the Falmouth area and when not exploring the paths of Cornwall works as an emergency medical technician and Mountain Leader. When this work takes him further afield he soon finds himself longing for the salty air (and pasties) of Cornwall. An active member of West Cornwall Search and Rescue team, Phil spends many wet and windy evenings training the next generation of team members how to use a map and compass.
