Start in Padstow and end in St Ives, the trip "South West Coastal Path: Padstow To St Ives" is a self-guided walking trip that takes 8 days. You will travel through Porthcothan, Newquay, St Ives and 4 other destinations in England. "South West Coastal Path: Padstow To St Ives" is a private trip which includes accommodation, transport, meals and others.
Follow the rugged Cornish Coastal Path from Padstow to St Ives in Cornwall. A beautiful part of the South West Coastal Path, this northern section undulates along the coast between the popular resorts of Padstow and St. Ives, visiting the surfer’s paradise of Newquay. These are of course popular epicenters for tourism in the summer months, but dotted along the coast are also tiny thatched roofed villages, old tin and silver mining towns and harbours, which used to throb with the business of shipping minerals and landing literally millions of fish. It is a landscape of beaches and tiny coves, which foster childhood recollections of summer. There are impressive cliffs and treacherous off shore reefs that have claimed many victims over the years. Now the economic landscape has totally changed, the area is more romantic and reflective, inspiring generations of artists and writers to describe in their various mediums the area the best that they can.
