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.  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]

From our previous day's end-point at Morwenstow we continue south over Higher and Lower Sharpnose Point until we reach the sheltered beach and National Trust reserve at Duckpool -  a great place for a lunch break!  A long and scenic stretch then gives us a chance to stride out and reach idyllic beaches at Northcott Mouth and then the famous Crooklets Strand, before we enter Bude, pass the tide-filled swimming pool, and head to our hotel to complete an exhilarating day's walk.

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. 

[7 hours walking, 14 km]

A final walk based from Bude with a mix of sheltered valleys and cliff-top vistas completes the week before we finish the programme around 1:30 pm so that there is time to make your onward or homeward journey.

[4 hours walking, 8km]
