White-Sand Beaches & Charming Coastal Villages in the Footsteps of King Arthur
A glorious seaside escape for busy souls. That’s Cornwall. Seductive ocean breezes draw you to turquoise waters, wild headlands and the most stunning white-sand beaches, where hidden coves wait to be discovered. Explore charming chocolate-box villages and tranquil fishing ports steeped in history. Hike along scenic woodland trails. Your soles will thank you. So will your soul.
Highlights
- Explore the South West Coastal Path, the United Kingdom's longest and best-loved National Trail, which traces the English shoreline for hundreds of miles
- Wander down narrow lanes of whitewashed fishing villages, along rocky Cornish headlands and on white-sand beaches beside turquoise waters
- Marvel at vast ocean views and crumbling medieval castles from the original legends of King Arthur
- Enjoy the sand, sea and some of the sunniest weather of the British Isles on this idyllic peninsula

Itinerary
Day 1
Walk next to an azure sea, passing historic churches and watching for seabirds such as razorbills, guillemots and puffins • Gaze across the water at Tintagel Island, where the wizard Merlin is rumored to haunt the sea caves to this day • The site of a former medieval drawbridge is still our only access point to the ruins of Tintagel Castle, legendary birthplace of King Arthur.
Night 1
Light, bright and recently remodeled Victorian boutique hotel that fuses coastal charm with a little luxury and a commanding view over the sandbars and sapphire shallows of the Camel River estuary.
Days 2-3
A rugged coastal walk takes you from World War II forts to defenses as old as the Spanish Armada • Check out a still-active lifeboat station, poised to aid in the case of all-too-common shipwrecks • Redefine what you thought you knew about English cuisine • Take in commanding views of shimmering coves as you hike through the South Coast Central Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty • Pop down to the gorgeous beaches of Porthcurnick or Porthbean, or shift gears sunning in the subtropical gardens of our chic hotel.
Nights 2-3
This cluster of cottages, nestled on a hillside with splendid sea views, adjoins a yacht club and beach club to create an Italian-inspired oasis.
Days 4-6
Hike to a fish-and-chips lunch at Gorran Haven, where a cluster of fishermen’s cottages remains the same as in years gone by • Climb rocky points and trek along windswept headlands as you continue to trace the South West Coastal Path • Our route along the tranquil Fowey and Bodinnick estuaries alternates from waterside to woodland paths • Cross an estuary on a local ferry and walk a medieval footpath through woodland and creek with striking views of Fowey Harbor • Traverse a rugged coastline with vistas of the brilliant white sands of Lantic Bay and the quaint village of Lansallos • Your week in Cornwall wouldn’t be complete without a boat ride and a last walk to a castle ruin and a shimmering beach.
Nights 4-5
This Victorian grande dame dominates the hillside village of Fowey, offering a sweeping view over the estuary and a winning mix of chic and rustic touches.
