Padstow Tours and Trips

This was an amazing trip and fantastic hike. The scenery was just spectacular and the inns we stayed in were so charming. Trina really put together a wonderful trip and there were no surprises or problems with any part of the trip. We are already planning our 2024 hike with Trina.

Very good accommodation. Bag transfer excellent. Day to day walks well organised but route not always clear. Need fair degree of fitness and agility on some parts of trail. Overall It was a great trip, thanks Trina.

Trina was great in booking our trip. Responsive and helpful with important tips. Luggage moves went without a problem. Maps useful. Beautiful hiking!!! Towns were very crowded in August (we were warned) but delightful.

I'd forgotten just how beautiful Cornwall is. Turqouise seas, dramatic cliffs and wonderful beaches. The prefect tonic for a tough year for us all. The usual mix of interesting and friendly fellow walkers. A wonderous week, well orchestrated by two great guides. They even secured a week of sunshine. You couldn't ask for more. Thoroughly recommended to anyone who wants to rediscover the charms and beauty of the Cornish coast in the company of a great bunch of like-minded individuals.

Based in two centres, starting in Padstow then spending the second half of the week in Charlestown on the South coast. Our tour leader, Will, and his colleague Gaby, were prepared to go to any lengths to make sure we were fully supported. The walking required a decent level of fitness, the rating of 3 (moderate) is an accurate assessment, and my phone recorded 51 miles during the five days of walks (and 137,700 steps!). The hotels were both good, although don't expect a sea view, and Will was always able to find us somewhere to eat despite COVID meaning there were a lot more tourists there than usual, and staffing was challenging for many of the restaurants. The scenery is really lovely, both on the coast and inland, and lots of photos were taken and shared.

Overall it was great. We were very lucky with weather. Only 1 day of bad weather. The bike company was excellent and there were no issues with the e-bikes. Route was good. Need to study the map for each day as this helps with locations of accommodation for each night and bike paths that get you off some of the busy roads. Glad we had e-bikes as some of the hills can be challenging. The accommodation was great.
