Riverside Walks in Cornwall

Cornwall's South West Coast Path is superb when it comes to walking, we all know that don't we? But how many of you explore inland, along the rivers that cut deep into the countryside?

Here we have put together a selection of walks, some including the South West Coast Path, that use footpaths and lanes running alongside streams, rivers and creeks. They can be done at anytime of the year, in fact we would recommend trying them in the different seasons, as each month the things you see will be different.

Discover the Tamar Valley

The River Tamar divides Cornwall from the rest of England for all but three miles between the source and the north Cornish coast. It runs for 60 miles down to Plymouth Sound, winding its way through rich farmland and areas of industrial history, now with World Heritage Status. Much of the area is also part of the Tamar Valley AONB (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty).

Let’s Visit Cornwall’s Webcams

Mousehole Harbour, West Cornwall. Aspects Holidays

In these difficult days we have been spending more time on-line dreaming about where we would rather be than at home. Even for those of us based in Cornwall, we have been limited to where we can go until recently.

Which is why webcams have become so popular. I for one, had my second screen fixed on Mullion Cove for a few weeks at the start of lockdown, watching the tide roll out and roll in, the sun catching the island, or setting behind it, the occasional dog walker joining the lonely gull on the beach.

Ignore those April showers and enjoy Cornwall at its best

St Austell Bay: A Guide

The curve of St Austell Bay with its many sandy beaches is a haven for watersports and family holidays and is also fantastic for walking and cycling, with many woodlands and trails through a variety of landscapes. At its centre, the town of St Austell, has grown from the riches of the China Clay industry. Walk along Fore Street and you will discover the fine Holy Trinity Parish Church and opposite, the Italianate facade of the Market House.
