Overview

Join us for a walk along some exceptional coastline on the South West Coast Path and through part of The Lizard National Nature Reserve. The views are extensive, the cliffs are jagged and the flowers are abundant and for some it's the only place they grow. Now is the best time to see the Cornish Heath.

The whole walk is around 8 miles but you could choose to return to the cars after 6.

Please book by clicking on the email bar or contacting Sylvie directly.
