Walking Holidays


Go

For the energetic our Walking Holidays involve about 8-9 miles per day but with plenty of stops and a relatively leisurely pace. For those preferring short strolls then our Garden Holidays would fit the bill. Choose either and you will see the secret and spectacular places of Cornwall UK together with (either inclusive or by arrangement) some of the County's world famous attractions e.g. Eden Project, Lost Gardens of Heligan, Tate of the West and National Maritime Museum Cornwall.

WALKING HOLIDAYS
What's included

Our holidays are usually based at the Llawnroc Inn, Gorran Haven or Bodrugan Farm near Mevagissey but we also use bed and breakfast accommodation and hotels in the Mevagissey and Truro areas. This enables us to suit most pockets and tastes. Transport, information and all necessary arrangements will be provided by your guides who operate exclusively in Cornwall.

For prices and dates see Home Page
The holidays include six nights bed and breakfast, local transport, the services of a full time guide, evening meal on the day of your arrival and a chance to meet your fellow walkers and packed lunches on four of the five days walking. Also included (if you prefer not to drive to Cornwall) is a pick-up/drop off service for the nearest rail or coach station (St Austell) or airport (Newquay) to which Ryanair now fly from London Stansted.
