A Cornish Celtic Way
https://www.contours.co.uk/cornish-celtic-way
Cornwall explored on a 125-mile walking holiday from St Germans to St Michael’s Mount.
From £855 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.
