Falmouth to Plymouth along the peaceful coastline of South Cornwall.
From £695 per person
This section of the South West Coast Path is perhaps the most gentle. It tours tranquil estuaries, wooded inlets and sandy coves. Jutting headlands provide stunning vantage points over some of the prettiest villages in Cornwall, where whitewashed cottages jostle for the best view of their harbours.
Yet South Cornwall is not all softness: the Royal Citadel of Plymouth towers over its broad harbour, an imposing part of King VIII’s coastal defences.
Absorbing the tranquillity of this quieter section of the South West Coast Path.
Visiting St Anthony’s Lighthouse, St Mawes Castle, and fortified Plymouth, with its rich naval history.
Touring the Georgian harbour of Charlestown, complete with square riggers.

The Falmouth to St Mawes Ferry operates all year round. However, the St Mawes to Place/St Anthony’s Head Ferry only operates from 30th March to 1st November. If the ferry is not running the alternative is a water taxi. As the water taxi service during the winter months is limited, advance booking is essential; please contact us to discuss your requirements.

This itinerary lists our preferred overnight stops for this tour.

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.
