Walkitcornwall Guided walking holidays and day walks in Cornwall, UK. A bit of walking philosophy thrown in. Why and how humanity has walked.

I provide walking holidays in the wonderfully unique county of Cornwall, the south west of the United Kingdom. I am organising walking holidays in The Isles of Scilly, Corfu and on Dartmoor in Devon for our international friends and future guests. I am also interested in the philosophy of walking, the cultural and historical heritage of walking.

Corfu October 2024 did not disappoint. One afternoon of rain to begin and a bit of rain when everyone had left. However, as it has been in so many years, the rest was sunshine and great walking temperatures with warm evenings.

A group of 13 guests and the programme included a day in Albania. We were based in the two centres of the friendly hustle and bustle of Corfu Town and the laid back, serene fishing village of Kassiopi where we increased the number of chilled days staying in the latter.

For those who have been with me before or are tempted to come for the first time I am looking at 2025 right now and to introduce some different walks. Interested?

We have been very lucky with the weather windows on the Scillies. Lovely group of 14 many who have come back once again on a walkitcornwall walking trip.

There is something special about these islands and they reveal their secrets time and time again in new ways.
It's always different.

Booking for 2025 so get in touch for a brochure. May and September 2025.

Between festivals. Green Gathering was the beginning of July and as well as the campaigns going on I was jamming, performing and open mic-ing. Amazing musical conversations throughout.

Then Tangled up in Blues - formerly Radford Mill Festival of Rhythm and Blues in Somerset where I was first in and last out staying two further nights to just chill and catch up.

And now Purbeck Valley Folk Festival before the Between The Trees Festival over the bank holiday which is the one I’ve been most looking forward to.

Vanlife, eh?!

Dartmoor 24 was amazing! 7 days of dry and sunshine. Perfect walking weather and a lovely group of 8 all of whom had walked with me before.
Some days were full walks and mostly we split the day into two walks with a total of about 7/8 miles.
Booked the dates for the last week in June 23 - 30 2025.
Interested?

Doing a little tour seeing friends over the east side of the country. First gig with my oldest musical friend Vic Lennard (he’s 108) at the South Mills Arts Centre in Bishops Stortford.
First time we’ve actually done a duo gig in all these years.

The old tropes of "Hidden Cornwall" and "The Secret Cornwall" to sell a vision of an unspoilt landscape really does irk me. Cornwall is neither hidden nor secret.

What it does have is numerous coves and beaches that require a bit of a clamber down to and across so that one can sit often alone with a bay to ones self with just the birds and often seals to keep you conscious of being part of nature and a visitor to their habitat.

This bay is on the Roseland Peninsula ('ros' meaning spur, nothing to do with the rose flower) and has been an overnight camping spot on occasion.

I never get tired of Kynance cove on the Lizard peninsula. I've taken hundreds of photos of this spot always looking for the definitive shot. However it is beautiful in all weathers, even in a brooding mist where you feel the surrounding cliffs even if you can't see them.
Here, (as David Attenborough says) we see the magnificence of the 375 million year old Serpentine rock that has been weathered and buffeted by waves, wind and rain moulding this coastline and continues to do so, shaping it for millions of years to come.
The jewel in the Lizard crown

Walking is Life

I provide guided walking holidays in the wonderfully unique county of Cornwall, the south west of the United Kingdom. For many years we have gone on walking holidays in Corfu, Menorca and on Dartmoor in Devon. I am planning for the Canary Islands and Isles of Scilly in 2019. I also lead guided walks and tours for the Falmouth Spring Festival and take tours in our 9 seater VW Caravelle around the Lizard Peninsula and Far West. I am based in Penryn close to the maritime town of Falmouth. I delve deep into the philosophy of walking and the natural history of this wonderful planet. As a creative professional musician I get inspired by the landscape and the multi sensory effect that it has on me. Walking and music are interconnected, inextricably linked into my DNA. Walking and music are my passion.
