Details

This adventure takes us to the wild west of Cornwall to the Rame Peninsula "Cornwall's forgotten corner" a beautiful and rugged landscape of tidal creeks, sandy beaches, smugglers coves and country parks.

We hike iconic South West Coast Path rewarded with spectacular views and beautiful coves where we can stop for a dip to cool off en route, we visit secret smugglers bays ancient churches, Napoleonic fortifications and pretty villages dotted along the coastline.

Our Base is Wilderme, (a charity that provides much needed retreats for children with autism) a spectacular glamping site perched above Cawsand Bay next to the hub of Marker Barracks and the pretty village of Kingsand a 17th Century fishing village of narrow twisting streets and pretty pastel-coloured houses, waterfront pubs, and of course a stunning beach.
