The Saint’s Way
Cornwall’s Coast to Coast and Pilgrimage
Walking Holiday in Cornwall and Bodmin Moor,
South West England
from Padstow to Fowey
via Withiel, Bodmin Moor and Lanlivery
Enjoy a self-guided walking holiday on the 28 mile coast to coast route of the Saints’ Way in Cornwall.
Starting in the quaint fishing port of Padstow on the north coast, the trail follows the route of the legendary pilgrims and missionaries as they travelled from Ireland to Spain, avoiding the treacherous seas around Land’s End.
A fascinating walk through history; with barrows and menhirs from the Neolithic, Bronze and Iron Ages, clapper bridges and crosses from medieval times, derelict engine houses and chimneys from the 18th and 19th-century tin industry. Affording scenery that is delightful and tranquil, the trail reaches the south coast of Cornwall at Fowey.
We offer 2 itineraries on the Saints Way:
- 4 day holiday, 28 miles
- 5 day holiday, 28 miles
Please see details below
You can also make The Saints Way into a longer walking holiday by linking up with the South West Coast Path which goes through both Padstow and Fowey.
