On our Walking in Cornwall trip, enjoy peaceful strolls along the beautiful beaches of Polzeath and Daymer Bay, and carry on towards Stepper Point, for awe-inspiring ocean views, where Peregrine Falcons sore overhead. With visits to the Fowey Estuary, Restormel Castle and the charming Lost Gardens of Heligan, you'll have plenty of opportunities to stop along the way to taste excellent seafood and traditional Cornish fare in cosy local pubs.
For coastal walks in Cornwall, nothing beats our Walking the Lizard Peninsula holiday. Take your time exploring the stunning Lizard Peninsula, most of which is designated as one of England's Areas of Natural Beauty (AONB). Beginning in Marazion, where the cobbled causeway over to St Michael's Mount crosses a sandy beach. Along this route, you will visit the Mullion Cove, Kennack Sands and the picture-perfect Kynance Cove, heading towards the wild serpentine cliffs of the Lizard, known as the most southerly tip of mainland Great Britain, before ending your adventure in the traditional fishing village of Coverack. If you're looking to head inland to hidden coves where you can spot the local seabirds in Watergate Bay and Bedruthan Steps, then our Walking Cornwall's North Coast Padstow to Perranporth is the best option for bird watching on a relaxing summer getaway.
