Boscastle Walking Week

From the very best of Britain’s coastline to wonderful walks amid woods and streams, it’s all on offer during Boscastle’s increasingly popular Walking Week. 

Our third year sees an extended range of walks and activities for you to pick and mix from. We aim to have something for all ages and abilities.

You could join one of our experienced and informed local guides on a ramble to waterfalls or steep climbs to Cornwall’s highest coastal cliff top, or meander along the country lanes and pathways that would have been familiar to the writer Thomas Hardy, whose life-changing visit to Boscastle produced poetry regarded by many as amongst the finest in the English language. 

Why not try a shorter walk with a special theme such as canal regeneration or village history.

As well as walking, a wide range of events including Poetry or Art sessions, cream teas, sight-seeing boat trips and special ‘Meal deals’ will be available. The Festival Dinner will again be held on the Thursday with limited places available on a first come first served basis.

More information on all the walks and the week’s  activities and accommodation can be found on the Chamber of Trade and Commerce website www.visitboscastle.com or from the Visitor Centre on the harbour Tel. 01840 250010

Booking for all walks is essential.

Sturdy walking gear and personal insurance is recommended.
