Discover the South West Coast Path

Cornwall is famous for its jaw-dropping coastline, and one of the best ways to see it is by walking a stretch of the South West Coast Path. From Seaton to Looe or even further afield towards Polperro, the views are unbeatable. Don’t forget your camera - dolphins and seals are known to make appearances along this stretch!
