Cornwall cliffs and coves in a week

The South West Coast Path's most dramatic 100 miles.

Cornwall's coast — the longest of any English county — combines granite cliffs, sand-bottomed coves, and a procession of fishing villages. A week walking or driving the South West Coast Path from Penzance to Tintagel takes in Land's End, Cape Cornwall, St Ives, Bedruthan Steps, Padstow, and Tintagel — with optional day-trips inland to the Eden Project and Lost Gardens of Heligan.
