Hiking & Trekking Tours & Trips in South West England
The coastal paths between St Ives and Land's End offer some of England's most untamed walking, where granite cliffs meet the Atlantic and tiny farming hamlets dot the landscape. Our walking tours blend daily routes of 6-10 kilometers with stops at old mining sites and Iron Age forts. The Weymouth to Lulworth section really stands out - you'll pass the natural limestone arch of Durdle Door and find quiet coves that make perfect rest spots. Around Pendeen and St Just, the paths tell stories of Cornwall's tin mining past, while the routes near Mousehole show you a gentler side with palm trees, valley walks and colorful spring flowers.
