Description
Short walking days along Cornwall’s Atlantic coast.
The North Cornwall coast alternates between surf beaches, high cliffs, and small harbors. This guide selects 15 walks showcasing both the open coastal landscape and quieter inland areas. The book is suitable for those wishing to experience the region on foot while allowing time for villages, history, and seaside breaks.
15 routes with maps and clear descriptions.
The walks range from approximately three to ten kilometers and are designed to be completed in under three hours. Numbered points link the descriptions to the maps, providing a clear basis for choosing a route based on weather, fitness, and how much of the day you wish to spend outdoors.
Harbors, beaches, and ancient tales.
Newquay, Padstow, Port Isaac, Tintagel, and Boscastle offer varied access to the coast. Trevose Head, Watergate Bay, and the area’s many coves demonstrate the landscape’s diversity. Information on parking, toilets, transport, and dining helps organize your trip and incorporate stops that complement your holiday plans.
Who is this book suitable for?
This guide is suitable for regular walkers seeking short routes and numerous local experiences. Trails may be rough or muddy, with hills, gates, and stiles along the way. Several walks follow the cliff edge, where strong winds require extra attention. The area can be visited year-round, with quieter trails outside the busiest summer periods.
A long tradition of hiking guides.
Cicerone has published guidebooks since 1969. The publisher emerged among climbers and mountaineers who wanted to share thorough knowledge of their routes – a tradition that still characterizes these compact books for walking, trekking, and other outdoor experiences.
