Explore the best of Cornwall’s coastline and some of its lesser-trodden inland trails during this week of show-stopping walking. Setting off from our base in the charming harbour town of Looe, our routes take us through the cobbled streets of Kingsand and Cawsand, to the historic smugglers’ haunt of Polperro, and soak up the views over Talland Bay. We’ll stride out along some of the finest sections of the South West Coast Path and enjoy plenty of time to discover the sights and scenery Cornwall is famous for.

Daily Walk Options

Easier Walks

Good paths but walks are a bit longer. Some walks, particularly in mountain areas, may have sections over rough or steeper terrain.

Medium Walks

Walks follow well-defined paths, though often in hilly or upland areas, or along rugged coastal footpaths. These may be rough or steep in sections and will require reasonable fitness.
