Cornwall's coastal path gives access to many of Britain's finest marine landscapes, and a great many of the walks in this guide utilise sections of the path, which is maintained to a high standard.
Particular highlights of this guide are Tintagel, St Ives, Kynance Cove, Looe
and St Agnes. Two walks, starting at Polkerris and Little Petherick
respectively, follow parts of the Saints' Way, which crosses Cornwall from coast
to coast on a route pioneered by the early Christian missionaries. Another
couple (one featuring a Neolithic tomb, Chûn Quoit; the other starting at
Zennor) follow sections of the ancient Tinners' Way, which follows a complicated
course through the old tin workings of west Cornwall.
Other routes take
in the ever-popular Land's End, romantic Prussia Cove (an old smugglers' haunt),
and Bodmin Moor, a landscape that has altered little since the Iron Age, nearly
3,000 years ago.
