Details

We are spending the Easter holiday in Cornwall, staying at Boscastle on the north Cornwall coast.
Thursday: After arriving and settling in to our accommodation we plan a leisurely stroll watching the sunset, with fish and chips.
Friday: After breakfast we will visit the oldest and largest witchcraft museum, with two floors and 3000 objects to intrigue and inspire. Our walk will then take us through the ancient woodland along the Valency valley. Depending upon the weather we may see the first of the season's bluebells come into bloom. After passing through the valley we will return through Boscastle and onto the lookout station at Willapark with its spectacular views along the North Cornwall Coast, before making our way back to the hostel.
Saturday: After breakfast there is a planned 8-mile walk, taking the coast path out of Boscastle over Penally Hill. From there we will have panoramic views over Boscastle, before continuing on to Pentargon, the cliff-top waterfall which drops over 100ft into the cove below. We then continue along Beeny Cliffs until we reach the 2 outcrops of Beeny Sisters where we then leave the coast path and head in land for our return journey back into Boscastle along the River Valency.
Sunday: We will head in the opposite direction to the previous day's walk for a 6 or 12-mile walk along the dramatic coast path towards Tintagel, following the coast path until Grower Rock where we will divert from the path inland into Trevalga, before arriving at St Nectan's Glen, pausing to view the waterfall. We return to the coast path which will be taking us around Tintagel, passing the medieval castle at Tintagel Head and then into Tintagel itself. Option to leave the walk at that point and spend extra time exploring the castle and the old post office, then the short bus ride back to Boscastle. For those wanting to continue, we will then head back to Boscastle along the sections of the coast path missed out when diverting to St Nectan's Glen, also picking up a slightly shorter route back down into Boscastle.
Monday: Will see us debunk and bid our farewells. Option to take a boat trip with a chance of seeing dolphins, grey seals and basking sharks.
