Walking in Cornwall
With one of the most scenic, and longest (over 300 miles) stretches of the South West Coast Path , and an inland path network of over 2,400 miles no walker could ever get bored in Cornwall. One of the most popular ways to get away from it all in Cornwall is on your own two feet. Get back to nature and see the beauty of Cornwall from places only reached by foot.

Martin Hunt, a dedicated walker and keen general naturalist who runs guided walking holidays in Cornwall, is convinced that spending time by the water can boost your sense of wellbeing. "You can go to the same place again and again, and you'll see something different. Each time you walk around a headland it's like arriving in a completely different place. The coastline is our star asset.
"But having said that I've just taken a group of walkers out onto the moors, and it was incredible there too. The flora and fauna, the archaeology and history, the sea, the incredible variety of landscapes - it's an amzing mix. If you have the eye for it you can't help but be enthused by the beauty of it all."
Cornwall has 12 separate Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), covering a total of 958 sq km. These areas include ten stretches of Cornish coastline, the Camel Estuary and Bodmin Moor. The 12 areas that make up the AONB in Cornwall are incredibly diverse and distinct in their characters. They represent Cornwall's finest landscapes.
