ISBN: 0-7117-2088-6
Famous for scenic fishing villages, sandy beaches and rugged cliffs, Cornwall is also a land steeped in history and tradition with a remarkable industrial heritage. The walks in this guide give a taste of all Cornwall's attractions. Walkers can stroll around historic Launceston-the 'gateway to Cornwall'-or tackle a tough trek along the magnificent cliffs near Morwenstow, renowned for its stories of smugglers and shipwrecks.
They can explore picturesque St Ives, once reliant on pilchard fishing but now the home of the Tate St Ives gallery, or can wander along the wooded banks of the River Fal around the Trelissick estate. History-lovers will enjoy the chance to explore the ruined coastal mine workings at Geevor and Wheal Cotes, or one of England's most impressive 19th-century homes-Lanhydrock House. Other routes incorporate the ruins of Tintagel Castle, associated with the King Arthur legends, and mainland England's southernmost point, the Lizard.
