At the South West Coast Path Association we are fortunate to work with a range of diverse businesses that enjoy the Path as much as we do! One of these businesses is Whirlwind Sports, a sports retailer based in Cornwall who don’t just work near the South West Coast Path, they live in rhythm with it.

Welcome back to our blog series, ‘A Taste of The Salt Path’, where we share 3-day walking itineraries featuring filming locations from The Salt Path, with quotes from Raynor Winn’s best-selling memoir. In this fourth walking itinerary, we walk the Cornish coast from Boscastle to Padstow, tracing clifftop paths, remote coves, and fishing villages, ending with a ferry ride into one of Cornwall’s most beloved harbour towns. Expect dramatic ascents and descents, hidden valleys and headlands, and sweeping views across the Atlantic.
