Plymouth to Lands End

A long hard but very rewarding walk for the adventurous and fit walker

This is a tough walk for the fit and regular walker.  It takes the official coastal path along a stretch of coast that includes fabulous views across bays, rivers and inlets that constitute Cornwall's best sailing areas.  The itinerary is not for the faint hearted, but for those of you who are in good shape and want a real challenge and a great adventure then this could be the walk for you.

 The walk takes you from the great city port of Plymouth to the wilds of Lands End, with many fishing and sailing ports in between.
