The ten walking routes featured here highlight the best short circular walks along the South Cornwall Coast section of the popular, 630-mile long South West Coast Path (SWCP).

Running from Land’s End at the very western tip of England to Penlee Point, guarding the entrance to Plymouth Sound, Cornwall’s deeply convoluted south coast is infinitely varied, ranging from rugged cliffs braced against the full force of Atlantic waves to the sheltered Cornish Riviera where the weather, scenery and flora can be almost Mediterranean.

Large towns are few, but attractive villages, hamlets and harbours abound, usually with a welcoming pub or café not far away.

The five-book series of ‘Top Ten Walks’ covers the whole of the UK’s famous South West Coast Path. Each book explores the highlights along the way; showcasing its natural beauty, wildlife and heritage.

Once you’ve tasted what the South Cornwall section has to offer, we think you’ll be inspired to come back to tackle the complete trail.

Product description

Running for 630 miles from Minehead in Somerset, around the tip of Land’s End and back to South Haven Point at the mouth of Poole Harbour in Dorset, the South West Coast Path (SWCP) is Britain’s longest National Trail.

Bordered by the Bristol and English channels and looking out to the open Atlantic, it encompasses some of England’s most spectacular and wildest coastline, where a diversity of natural habitats is home to many species of plant, animal and insect life. The seas, coves and hinterland have been a dramatic setting for a gloriously rich history, which has inspired countless tales of romance, drama and intrigue.

The South West Coast Path will eventually be part of the England Coast Path.

With clear information, an overview and introduction for each walk, expertly written numbered directions, large scale Ordnance Survey maps, superb eye-grabbing panoramic photographs, and interpretation of points of interest along the way, these guides set a new standard in clarity and ease-of-use
