Join us by 1:30 pm for a half day local walk to get to know your fellow walkers and the environment close by.  A circuit of paths takes us along the coast, over Efford Beacon for a panoramic view of Bude Bay, then down to pick up the Bude Canal towpath - our route back into town.

[3 hours walking, 7 km]

For those who are unable to arrive by this time, join us for dinner at 6:30 pm, after which we will talk through our planned programme.

We start the day at Hartland Quay and walk south along one of the most impressive coasts in the UK.  Here, the rock strata runs directly out to sea, forming a series of jagged ridges that have seen the end of many a ship over the centuries.  This location has appeared in several films - The Salt Path, Rebecca, Treasure Island and others. We pass the impressive waterfalls at Speke's Mill Mouth, reach the viewpoint at Embury Beacon, and walk down into the hamlet of Morwenstow where the Rectory Tea Rooms offer a spectacular cream tea. Our taxi transfer takes us from here back to our hotel.

[6 hours walking, 13 km]

A classic day's walk linking the beautiful bay at Crackington Haven with the dramatic Boscastle Harbour.  Scenic walking between these two gives great views out of Bude Bay, not least from the summit of Rusey Cliff, whose summit is 233m above sea level. Arriving in Boscastle Harbour, it is easy to understand why this has become such an historic site with its natural cliff protection. The day is completed with an exploration of the Iron Age fort remains at Willapark before our transfer returns us to our hotel once more.

From our previous day's end point we continue, walking along the quay at Boscastle Harbour to leave the village and once again break out into the cliff top path with spectacular views across the channel to South Wales and along the Cornish coast towards out goal - Tintagel Castle. On our walk we pass the beautiful beach at Bossiney Haven (usually our lunch-stop) and the dramatic Rocky Valley, before arriving at Tintagel, where those who wish to can visit the castle island itself (entry not included) or enjoy a stroll round Dunderhole Point before exploring the village of Tintagel, from where our return transport will collect us.

[7 hours walking, 12 km]

We begin at the sheltered beach and National Trust reserve at Duckpool. A scenic stretch then brings us to the idyllic beach at Northcott Mouth and to a great place for a breather - the coffee garden at Sandy Mouth. Refreshed, we walk on to Crooklets Strand, before we pass the tide-filled swimming pool in Bude, and then to our hotel to complete an exhilarating week's walk.
