Where can I go on a walking holiday in Cornwall?

On our walking holidays in Cornwall, you can enjoy peaceful strolls along the beautiful beaches of Polzeath and Daymer Bay. Carry on towards the cliffs of Stepper Point for awe-inspiring ocean views, as peregrine falcons soar overhead.

On visits to the Fowey Estuary, Restormel Castle and the magical, charming Lost Gardens of Heligan, you'll stop along the way to taste excellent seafood, including chef Rick Stein's celebrated fish and chips, and traditional Cornish fare in cosy local pubs.

For invigorating walks in Cornwall, a trip to explore Gribbin Head and on to Polridmouth Cove offers stunning views against a backdrop of the Menabilly estate and woodlands. The Menabilly mansion inspired the mysterious Manderley in Daphne du Maurier's classic 1938 novel Rebecca.
