Clifftops, hidden coves, and routes around England's far south-west
Rugged headlands, sandy beaches, ancient mining landscapes, and sheltered estuaries create a coastline shaped by the Atlantic Ocean and centuries of maritime history. Covering much of Cornwall's coastline, the Cornwall National Landscape protects some of England's most distinctive coastal scenery, where dramatic cliffs, fishing villages, and open moorland meet the sea.
Long-distance trails such as the South West Coast Path and Saints' Way pass through the landscape, linking places including Bude, Padstow, St Ives, Penzance, Falmouth, Fowey, and Looe. Coastal footpaths, estuary routes, ancient tracks, and countryside trails reveal changing views across surf beaches, harbour towns, mining heritage sites, and remote stretches of coastline, creating journeys closely connected to Cornwall's unique character.
Whether following the coastline, crossing the county on historic inland routes, or exploring coves and fishing villages, Cornwall rewards time spent on foot. Atlantic scenery, maritime heritage, and an ever-changing shoreline make it one of England's most rewarding destinations for self-guided travel.
