Cornwall explored on a 125-mile walking holiday from St Germans to St Michael’s Mount.
From £880 per person
The Cornish Celtic Way combines the undulating coastal pathways of the South West Coast Path with inland walks along St Michael’s Way and the Saints Way. For some, it promises a spiritual journey along the pilgrimage routes of Celtic saints, wending between Celtic crosses, holy wells and standing stones.
Over 125 miles from St Germans to St Michael’s Mount, the Cornish Celtic Way crosses the peninsula to Padstow, then sweeps south along the gorgeous Cornish coast. This storm-shaped coastline offers sandy bays and rocky headlands, including the dramatic rock stacks of Giants Stepping Stones. From Lelant, the trail joins St Michael’s Way and crosses the peninsula again, enjoying the beautiful Cornish countryside as it leads the way to Marazion and the imposing castle atop St Michael’s Mount.
Taking off your boots to walk along Cornwall’s many beaches of white sand.
Enjoying the mysticism of this ancient route, which winds along in the footsteps of pilgrims.
Wandering the narrow streets of quiet coastal villages. Drop in to a warm, welcoming pub or a bustling café as you walk.

For 2021, single-night stays in Padstow have become challenging to arrange. To arrange this tour, we therefore must book two nights at Padstow. This will necessitate a transfer from Port Isaac for the penultimate night's stay; or, alternatively, we can book an extra night at the end of your walking tour. If you would prefer the latter option to minimise transfers, please add an extra night in Padstow during the booking process, or contact us directly for more information.

This itinerary lists our preferred overnight stops for this tour. Sometimes there may be a shortage of available accommodation in a preferred location, in which case we will transfer you from the trail to your accommodation and back again at no extra charge. Overnight stops marked with a (T) will always require transfers as standard.
Overnight stops marked with an (L) have very limited accommodation, and therefore more often than not will also require a transfer, particularly on bank holidays and weekends. We will use non-transfer accommodation wherever possible.
The daily mileages quoted are average trail miles only and do not include the distance from the trail to your accommodation. We do not expect you to have to travel more than a mile from the trail to your accommodation; should your accommodation be further than this, transfers will be provided as standard.
Below are the additional costs that may apply depending on your requirements. Dog-friendly tours are subject to a Daily Dog Charge, which will be listed below if applicable. Our standard prices per person are based upon two people sharing a room; if you are on your own, or are part of a group but require a room of your own, then the Solo Traveller or Single Supplements apply respectively:
