Cornwall coast in 7 days

Land's End to Tintagel via the south and north coasts.

Cornwall has 433 miles of coast — more than any other English county. A week is enough to drive the whole circuit (south coast then north), stopping at the major fishing villages and surf beaches without driving more than three hours a day. We've sequenced this anticlockwise from Penzance so the most dramatic stretches (Bedruthan Steps, Tintagel) fall on days 5–7.
