Explore Cornwall on foot
Twenty carefully chosen short walks capture Cornwall’s cliffs, coves, creeks, moorland and industrial heritage without demanding a full day on the trail. John and Vicky Wood select favourite routes that are generally two to four miles long, often with shorter alternatives where possible.
The collection stretches from Bude Canal and Morwenstow to Land’s End, the Lizard, Padstow, Rame Head and Trevose Head, with inland walks at Lanhydrock, Luxulyan Valley and Minions. Coastal scenery is joined by ruined engine houses, old tramways, mining stories, smugglers, legends and wildlife, giving the guide a distinctly Cornish character beyond the route directions themselves.
Each walk provides clear route directions together with mapping, photographs and practical information covering distance, gradient, difficulty, approximate walking time, parking, paths, facilities and places for refreshments.
