Overview

Come with us to explore the amazing far south west of England. Original home to some of our staff so we feel we know the area pretty well! We will be exploring the best bits of one of the UK’s greatest trails.
At 1014 km long the South West Coastal Path winds its way around the entire south western coastline of England. With high cliffs, secluded beaches, castles, quaint seaside villages and pubs, moorlands and the pounding Atlantic Ocean, this area has more than enough to take your breath away.
Among the sheer natural beauty there are man made wonders like the castle of St Michael’s Mount, the beautiful buildings of St. Ives and the typical coastal fort of St Catherines. Come with us and let us show you what we think is the UK’s best coast!
