Walking in Cornwall

Begin your adventure in Wadebridge, located near the working harbour town of Padstow in north Cornwall which has seen a popularity surge among walkers and foodies in recent years. Around 6pm, say hello to your tour leader and fellow travellers in the hotel reception, where we gather as a group for the first time to get to know each other and learn more about the adventures ahead.

Your tour leader then ensures a big welcome by arranging a group dinner. Want more time in Cornwall? Secure pre-tour hotel nights through your sales representative. Upgrade your room today – speak to your sales representative for more details.

We take a short (15 minutes) transfer to the small seaside village of Rock. Our walking route takes us slightly inland to the idyllic beaches of Polzeath and Daymer Bay and then up to Pentire Head. After lunch, we walk past St Enodoc Church and along the dunes, returning to Wadebridge in the late afternoon. In the evening, we enjoy dinner in Wadebridge, rounding off the day in this charming Cornish market town.

Today we track the coastline of North Cornwall, first heading to Stepper Point – a prominent headland jutting into the Atlantic. Here, we meet a member of the Cornwall Wildlife Trust for a fascinating insight into how they are working to protect the local wildlife and wild places.

After, we continue our coastal walk – keep an eye out for peregrine falcons, the fastest birds in the world, which are known to nest in this area. Depending on our progress, we may finish with lunch in Trevone, Harlyn Bay or even Constantine Bay, before taking a bus transfer back across the headland to Padstow, where we have some free time to enjoy the small harbour town. After we will transfer back to Wadebridge. Upgrade your room today – speak to your sales representative for more details.

We transfer to Lanhydrock Gardens to start walking down the Fowey Estuary. From the gardens, which are well worth an explore, we walk towards the coast passing the picture-perfect Restormel Castle and onto the lovely town of Lostwithiel for lunch.

In the afternoon, we join the Saint's Way through the lovely village of Golant and onto Fowey and the south Cornish coast. At the end of the walk, we transfer to our new hotel in Charlestown. Upgrade to a deluxe harbour-view room today – speak to your sales representative for more details. .

In the morning, we walk directly from our hotel southwards along the South West Coast Path towards the wonderful town of Mevagissey. On the way, we veer from the path to visit the Lost Gardens of Heligan (revived in 1991 after 70 years of neglect and restored to former glory - see 'Money' section for entrance fee) and then into Mevagissey for a lunch of seafood caught that morning.

After breakfast, we jump on a public bus, which will drop us just above the village and beach at Polkerris. We begin walking along the coast towards Gribben Head, before dropping down to Polridmouth Cove, where Daphne Du Maurier based her 1938 gothic novel, Rebecca. Arriving in Fowey, we stop for lunch and in the afternoon there is the opportunity to cross the harbour by ferry into Polruan and walk the other side of the estuary.

Afterwards, we catch another ferry back into Fowey and enjoy our last night together. Upgrade to a deluxe harbour-view room today – speak to your sales representative for more details. .
