• Published 14/11/2022
In this coastal walk you’ll discover the wild coast of South Cornwall, the beautiful Kynance Cove and the unique Lizard Point, the southernmost point in Great Britain. You’ll be able to enjoy splendid views of the stunning coves and rugged cliffs of the Lizard Peninsula. With some luck, you may even spot the coastal wildlife, from seals to seabirds and even dolphins.
St Michael’s Mount, Cornwall
An ancient, cobbled causeway connects St Michael's Mount to the mainland.
This is inaccessible on foot at high tide; at low tide, the causeway is accessible and visitors can go across to explore the island.
Seven Sisters Country Park is a beautiful spot and landmark. The towering Seven Sisters cliffs stretch along the Sussex Heritage coast and this walk is one that every hiker should do at least once.
The iconic coastguard cottages, Cuckmere Haven and the Seven Sisters cliffs walk to Birling Gap make for an incredible day out.
Valley of Rocks, Devon
The best way to experience Valley of Rocks, which lies just around the corner from the twin coastal villages of Lynton and Lynmouth, is with a 3.5-mile circular walk.
With wonderful views over a dramatic landscape, the Valley of Rocks offers stunning rocks, woodland walks, a secluded bay as well as Victorian follies and heathland above it.
Hike through creaking woods, along wildlife-rich marshes, and along one of the most beautiful beaches in Britain.
The fusion of pinewoods and sand dunes tumble on to the beach and into the sea. The shoreline is part of one of the largest national nature reserves in the country, home to many animal species and fauna and perfect for birdwatching.
Explore the towering cliffs, wild waters and the fossilised remains of a 50-million-year-old tree. A single road gives way to a forest track at the hamlet of Tiroran, navigating the southern side of the peninsula along Loch Scridain. These trackless terrains are characterised by abandoned beaches, sparse coastal undercliffs, and stunted trees beneath stark basalt terraces.
South Stack, Anglesey
A dramatic coastline where great northern divers surf wild waves and Arctic skuas soar with this circular walking route.
Near the bottom of the steps to South Stack Lighthouse is a seat for one carved into a fissured rock. In the Summer, they’re alive with many animal species.
