Cornwall's Creeks, Coves & Coastal Trails - October 4-10, 2009

Introduction

Historical ThemeCoastal WalkingLiterature and FilmGardens

Exotic plants and sunny beaches contrast with craggy coves and stormy seas in the county of Cornwall, home to some of Englandâs most atmospheric landscapes.

With the crashing waves of the Cornish coast never far from sight, we follow in the footsteps of novelist Daphne du Maurier on the South West Coast Path, visiting ancient fishing villages, secluded beaches and sub-tropical gardens. We explore storm-weathered castles, eat in traditional thatched pubs and sail across peaceful estuaries.

One of the Walkâs highlights is a trip to the mysterious Lost Gardens of Heligan, a once-neglected Victorian estate, now fully restored to its former glory.
