Celebrate National Heritage Week on the Cornish coast
Cornwall’s Tin Coast is located in West Cornwall, stretching between Pendeen Lighthouse and the iconic Cape Cornwall seven miles to the south. In 2006, this area was recognised by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site to mark the significance of the landscape, which played a pivotal role in the 18th and 19th centuries when copper and tin mining was a booming industry.
Nordic Walking the Coast Path
“I learned that there isn’t a ‘right’ way to walk the path apart from what’s appropriate for each person and their circumstances.”
Enjoy pest-free walking this summer
Along with lovely weather comes not so lovely stuff like troublesome ticks, blood sucking horseflies and prickly plants such as brambles and thistles (where many of these little nasties like to hide). Below is some advice on what to look out for and how to prevent getting bitten or stung whilst out walking.
Fulfilling the dream of a lifetime
I have walked with family, friends and alone; each were special in different ways. Family – this was something wonderful to share, and in years to come we will have built memories together. Friends – I have never laughed so much despite the baking sun or thick relentless mud. Alone – it felt amazingly liberating, calming and rewarding.
