Itinerary Expand all Padstow to Newquay Day 1 Arrival in Padstow Arrival in Padstow where you spend the next three nights Day 2 Padstow to Trevone Circular Walk A short but rewarding circular walk and a fine introduction to the Cornish Coast Path. After traversing the estuarine beaches and calm blue waters at the mouth of the River Camel, the barren cliffs of Trevose Head provide a stark contrast, setting the tone for the wilder coast ahead before returning to Padstow via inland footpaths and country lanes Meals included: Breakfast Day 3 Trevone to Porthcothan With six beaches, one mighty headland and numerous sandy coves, the chances that you will take all day to cover this short and incredibly beautiful section are high. It is an easy and pleasant walk but on a sunny day the temptation to enjoy the sand or dip your toes in the sea can be too much. From the calm and sheltered (not to mention curiously named) Mother Ivey's to the wild and surf battered Booby's Bay (Booby is a local name for the gannet), there is good variety to be found even on such a short walk. Transfers at the start and end of the day Meals included: Breakfast Day 4 Porthcothan to Newquay High cliffs and striking headlands dominate this section of the North coast. After a transfer to Porthcothan, once again the dramatic scenery is softened at regular intervals by long (and popular) beaches. With a blend of interesting geology, archaeology and stunning views, this walk remains fascinating throughout. With two popular resorts; Watergate Bay and Mawgan Porth en route, the beautiful and fascinating Bedruthan Steps, dozens of small islands and thousands of sea birds, the miles seem to slip by until you arrive at the ever-popular Newquay, your home for the next two nights. Meals included: Breakfast Day 5 Newquay to Perranporth Threading between two of Cornwall's busiest resorts, this walk takes you through some unexpectedly wild landscapes with magnificent views ahead to the west, and past some of the best beaches on the north Cornish coast. Transfer back to Newquay at the end of your walk. Meals included: Breakfast Day 6 Leave Newquay Depart Newquay after breakfast. Meals included: Breakfast
