The Camel Trail is a 19 mile route that follows the beautiful Camel River from Padstow, where it joins the sea in a wide estuary, to Poley's Bridge inland, where it is merely a stream running through woodland. En-route at Nanstallon you will also find the Camel Trail Tea Rooms. Bikes are for hire from either Padstow or Wadebridge and it's a brilliant area for bird watching. Visit Wenfordbridge in spring and delight in the profusion of daffodils, snowdrops and primroses.
Starting from Walk House Car Park in Tower Hill, this trail takes you on a historical walk around the town with examples of every significant type of achitecture since the Norman Conquest. See their Web site for the detailed walk including building descriptions.
Initially heading inland from Tintagel Vistor Centre to magical St Nectan's Glen, through Rocky Valley and then along the coast to Tintagel Castle. The views of the coastline throughout this walk are spectacular. Along the way you'll come across a ruined village and Bronze Age carvings. It's around six miles at a moderate grading.
A dramatic walk along the North Cornwall coast taking in a line of stumpy sea stacks called Bedruthan Steps, the stepping stones of a local giant! The walk is four and a half miles long and follows the coast to Park Head where it loops inland via Pentire Farm to return along the coastal path. The walk can be challenging with some steep, unfenced drops. Treat yourself to tea afterwards at the National Trust tea room at Carnewas car park. **Please note due to a major rockfall in 2020 the cliff steps to Bedruthan beach are closed until further notice**
A collection of three woods, Broad, Colquite and Trevovis. Premissive and public paths run through the woodland which is run by community groups and volunteers. You'll find wildlife, ancient forest, mature oaks and river with cascading pools.
