South West Coast Path - Padstow to St Ives
Stretching between the fishing villages of Padstow and St Ives, the Atlantic South Coast of the Cornwall Coast Path is one of the best sections of the 630 mile South West Coast Path. Smell the crashing Atlantic rollers, taste freshly caught fish and chips and eat up the cliff top views on this 66 mile adventure along the Cornwall Coast Path.
Tempting beaches, picturesque fishing villages, wild seas crashing and secluded coves are all features of this wonderful walk from Padstow to St Ives along Cornwall’s Atlantic Coast. Padstow has become synonymous with Rick Stein, the TV chef, and is a delightful mix of houses, quays, inns, restaurants and gift shops.
Heading south you will discover a collection of quiet villages, estuaries full of fauna and flora and some of the UK’s best beaches. So by the time you arrive in St Ives, the most famous of Cornwall’s holiday towns, all you will want to do is turn around and do it all over again.
If you love walking, the South West Coast Path should be on your “must do” list and the Atlantic South Coast section from Padstow to St Ives is a real treat. Not only will you enjoy fabulous walking each day but each overnight stop is a highlight. With great walking, beaches, birdlife, restaurants, shops and a rich history there is simply not enough time to do everything each day.
Highlights:
- Wild Atlantic surf crashing into the cliffs below you.
- Tucking into freshly caught fish and chips on the pier in Padstow
- Walking for miles along white sandy beaches
- Plunging into the surf at the end of a long day’s walk
