Day Walks in Cornwall features 20 circular routes between 7.2 and 13.7 miles (11.6km and 22km) in length, suitable for hillwalkers of all abilities.

Head for the Merry Maidens stone circle in Lamorna, examine the serpentinite rock formations at Lizard Point, watch over medieval Tintagel Castle and parade past Cromwell's Castle. Find serenity overlooking St Enodoc's Church or soak up the vibe of trendy fishing village St Mawes, nestled in its sheltered bay; you'll find Cornwall has it all.
