The South West Coast Path enters and leaves Cornwall by the Devon coast hugging the whole of the beautiful Cornish coast, only brocken by the county's towns and villages. It offers particularly outstanding coastal walking through an ever changing landscape of picturesque coves, creeks and spectacular cliffs.
However far you plan to walk sturdy footwear and a basic first aid kit are advisable. Allow plenty of time, for coastal walking usually takes longer than you anticipate. Check local public transport times before setting out.
Cornwall Maritime Museum
Displays about Cornwall and the sea; the Falmouth Packet Service; Ship models; Artefacts; Paintings; Shipbuilding; Navigation; Wrecks; Lifesaving and a database of Cornish-built vessels from 1786 to 1914. |
