The Best Walking Guides for Cornwall (That Aren’t Published by a Giant Corporation)

Cornwall is a walker’s paradise—cliff‑hugging coastlines, hidden cove paths, ancient moorlands—best explored on foot. But too often, guidebooks feel impersonal or generic, full of routes never updated and maps that leave you guessing.

Here’s a refreshed look at top-quality walking guides—by real walkers who charted each path, got muddy for you, and captured the small magic you’ll encounter on the way.

🧭 What Makes a Great Guide

  • Accurate, clear directions (so you never wonder where to turn)
  • Circular routes with parking, pubs, and dog-friendly notes
  • Local flavour—history, folklore, landscapes
  • Helpful visuals—maps, elevations, waypoint images
