St Ives - 7 days
From £539 per Person

Cornwall's towering granite cliffs, golden beaches and atmospheric old fishing ports combine to form England's most dramatic stretch of coastline. The superb coast path snakes around the rugged headlines providing an ever-changing array of sea views, whilst ghostly shells of abandoned tin mines provide dramatic sillhouettes on the skyline. St Ives, with its historic narrow streets, fresh sea air and sandy coves, encompasses everything that makes the Cornish coast so special.

Itinerary Highlights

St Ives is a great base to walk the dramatic coastline and visit the sheltered bays of Cornwall. Each day, choose from up to three carefully-selected guided walks.

Easier Walks: As well as enjoying the superb coastal path, the easier walks will discover Cornwall’s unspoilt beaches, churches and peaceful harbour villages. From St Ives we can walk to Clodgy Point or along the coast to Carbis Bay. Other walks may include Trebah Gardens on the Helford Estuary, St Michael’s Mount, Lizard Point to Kynance Cove, or from picturesque Lamorna Cove to Mousehole.
Medium Walks: The magnificent coastal path is used to its full advantage on these walks. On the sheer granite cliffs of the north coast, fully exposed to the Atlantic swells, we could take bracing walks from St Just to Land’s End, or from Porthtowan to the huge expanse of sand at Perranporth. Other walks may take us to Loe Pool and Praa Sands, or along the cliffs from the Minack Theatre.
Harder Walks: The undulating nature of the cliff path makes some of these longer walks more challenging. Endless sea views and constant reminders of Cornwall’s mining heritage accompany us as we walk from Portreath to Perranporth via St Agnes Head, or from the Crown Mines at Botallack to Land’s End. We may also take a circuit of England’s most southerly point, the Lizard peninsula.
 

This holiday, which is operated in association with Holiday Fellowship, can be combined with any of our other UK itineraries and / or linked to a city break in London or Edinburgh. The nearest airport entry point is London.

Hotel Information

Chy Morvah, meaning ‘house by the sea’ in Cornish, is certainly an appropriate name for this characteristic seaside hotel. From the panoramic lounge and the dining room, the view stretches across the golden sands of St Ives Bay to the lighthouse at Godrevy Point. There are 38 en-suite bedrooms in the main building and adjacent Lanyons House, plus a heated outdoor pool in the mature grounds. A short walk will take you down to the bustling centre of St Ives
- a delightful town, with art galleries, a colourful harbour and glorious sandy beaches. Excellent boot and drying rooms ensure that Chy Morvah is tailored to the needs of outdoor enthusiasts. In the evenings you can have a drink
in the bar, stroll into town, chat with friends, or join the evening activity. In the summer a visit to the outdoor Minack Theatre is a popular option.
