This is an old pilgrimage route taken by pilgrims voyaging from Ireland and Wales on route to France, in order to avoid the dangerous voyage around Lands End. The Saints' Way crosses mid-Cornwall from coast to coast. Starting in the fishing port of Padstow in the North and finishing in the busy sailing, fishing and commercial port of Fowey in the south. The path follows a wonderfull varied course through valleys, woodlands, pastures, moors and villages and allows you to retrace the steps of the pilgrims and soak up much of the history they left behind.
