Synopsis

The go-to, all-in-one guide to walking the Cornwall Coast Path, one of England’s most spectacular and diverse long-distance trails.

The Cornwall Coast Path follows the dramatic shoreline of southwest England, forming part of the South West Coast Path. This two-way guide covers the Cornish section in full, allowing you to walk in either direction and tailor your journey along one of Britain’s most breathtaking coastal routes, with its ever-changing scenery of cliffs, coves, beaches and historic harbours.

This fully re-walked and completely updated 8th edition Trailblazer guide is built around what Trailblazer does best: maps that are large-scale, route-led, based on Ordnance Survey* mapping, that you can follow directly on the trail. With walking distances and times, accommodation, food stops and key landmarks shown on the map itself, there is no need to switch between text, apps or additional maps - everything you need is in one book. Ideal for those planning their first multi-day walk and for experienced hikers, the guide supports walkers who prefer to plan their own days rather than follow rigid stages.

In this Trailblazer guide you’ll find:

• 142 large-scale, edited walking maps (just under 1:20,000), with the added detail you need to walk with the book in hand so you can walk confidently without switching between apps or extra maps
• Unique Trailblazer mapping features, including distances and walking times, clear directions, tricky junctions, gradients, places to stay, places to eat and points of interest
• Flexible itineraries for all walkers - walk the full coast-to-coast route, choose shorter sections, or sample the highlights. The trail can be walked in either direction, and this guide supports both options with clear, directional mapping
• Clear stage planning helping you judge daily distances, terrain and ascent to suit your pace
• Detailed public transport information for access to all points along the trail
• Guides to towns and villages with practical advice for all budgets, including cafés, pubs and restaurants, plus B&Bs, hotels, hostels, bunkhouses and campsites
• Downloadable waypoints with GPS and what3words references, so you can navigate confidently with or without a device

Route highlights include:

• The rugged north Cornwall coast from Bude through Crackington Haven and Boscastle to Tintagel, rich in dramatic cliffs and Arthurian legend
• Sweeping sandy bays at Trevone, Harlyn Bay, Porthcothan and the striking Bedruthan Steps near Mawgan Porth
• Lively coastal towns including Newquay and Perranporth, balanced by quieter stretches through Crantock, Porth Joke and Holywell
• Mining heritage and wild cliffs around St Agnes, Porthtowan and Portreath, leading to the golden sands of Hayle and the artistic hub of St Ives
• Remote and dramatic far-west scenery at Zennor Head, Botallack Mine, Cape Cornwall and Land’s End, with turquoise waters at Sennen Cove and Porthcurno

Detailed, reliable and inspiring, this long-established and regularly updated Trailblazer guide offers expert advice, excellent mapping, and everything you need to enjoy Cornwall Coast Path, whether it’s your first long-distance walk or your next great walking challenge.
