Itinerary
Walk along the southern section of the Cornwall Coastal Path. Discover one of the most scenic stretches of the South West Coast Path as you walk from Penzance to Mevagissey, a route rich in natural beauty, cultural history, and coastal charm. This journey takes you through dramatic cliffs at The Lizard—Britain’s southernmost point—along wooded estuaries, sheltered tidal creeks, and the tranquil Fal River. The region is part of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, known for its lush gardens, palm-lined paths, and unique microclimate. Along the way, you’ll encounter tiny fishing villages, secret smugglers’ coves, and stories of shipwrecks that inspired authors like Daphne du Maurier and Virginia Woolf, and latterly Raynor Winn, author of The Salt Path. Whether you're admiring the birdlife, exploring subtropical gardens, or simply taking in a spectacular Cornish sunset, this moderate week-long walk offers a deeply memorable experience for both nature lovers and literary enthusiasts alike.

Customer Reviews
The Coast Path from Padstow to Penzance was challenging and the scenery was stunning. Wind and rain impacted my hike during the first week so wearing all quick dry clothes was essential. But the weather improved as I approached Penzance. Glad I took a few days off there to visit St. Michaels Mount and the Scilly Isles. From Penzance to Mevagissey was wonderful. The terrain was a little gentler and weather was better. The Roseland Peninsula was lovely. I enjoyed visiting the small fishing villages. St. Austell Brewery properties were all great. The Torwood House, St. George's, North Inn, and Caerthillion were nice, but the hotel in Mevagissey was poor.
The walk was amazing, stunning views beautiful countryside.
Best way to see the south coast of England on foot!
Great trip! Gorgeous scenery! This walk was rated moderate but there are a lot of ups and downs. Definitely not flat. Our nightly lodgings were our favorite part. Great hosts and delicious breakfasts. They did a fantastic job in organizing our vacation!
This was a lovely trip hiking along the coast. Some days were long, but there was usually a nice beach cafe to stop for a break and lunch. All of the luggage transfers went off without a hitch.
