Seasons
This book can be enjoyed all year round, although some routes can be particularly muddy after rain. Trails that are busy in July are often deserted in November. However, several walks run along cliff tops and require particular care in strong winds. The West Penwith moors can be a forbidding environment in poor weather.Centres

Cornwall is a rural county with most footpaths rough and occasionally muddy. In this county of innovators and engineers, many gates and stiles are creative and may require a clamber. Expect some ascent on all but one of the walks.Must See
Beautiful, rugged cliffs above turquoise sea; towering engine houses standing silent guard over post-industrial landscapes; miles of golden sand and irresistible fishing coves; atmospheric megaliths surrounded by remote moorland; centuries-old pubs providing cosy sanctuary from coastal stormsISBN

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.
