Our challenge starts in the picturesque seaside town of St Ives. We trek alongside the spectacular sea cliffs of Cornwall’s South coast through areas of outstanding national beauty, spending nights in quaint finishing villages. We immerse ourselves in the unique history of the area, from the mines to the great war, we also visit the medieval castle on St Michaels Mount reached only by a causeway. Swim in stunning bays, enjoying nature and the local wildlife along with Cornwall’s extraordinary geology. You may see grey seals, dolphins, puffins, porpoises, minke whale and more if they wish to be with us. If you would like to make a sealife safari after the coastal walking we can help you acheive this.
