Walking in Cornwall offers a truly magical experience, with its stunning coastline, picturesque harbour villages, and rugged moorland interior. Whether you’re looking for an exhilarating clifftop challenge or a peaceful stroll through an ancient woodland valley, Cornwall has a route to match every walker.

The county is home to a significant stretch of the South West Coast Path — England’s longest National Trail — winding past dramatic headlands, hidden coves and traditional fishing villages from Bude in the north to the Tamar estuary in the south-east. Inland, Bodmin Moor offers exposed moorland walking with ancient monuments and big skies, while the sheltered river valleys of the Fowey, Fal and Helford provide gentler, wooded alternatives.
