Extra nights / rest days
An extra night gives you the chance to explore some of the villages on the path or to simply relax on one of the sandy beaches for which Cornwall is famous.
Porthleven, with its picturesque harbour, is a lovely place to linger while Porthallow is a charming, unspoilt Cornish fishing village. Both locations are superb for a relaxing day.
