Stunning walk from Porthleven to Polurrian.
10.5 kilometres of pure nature.
There was rain, high winds and sunshine but nothing could stop us. It was beautiful and unforgettable, absolutely needed ☀️♥️☀️

We have some incredibly kind customers on the path this week. We’ve been amazed by all the lovely emails that we have received and would like to say thank you so much for your kindness and for making us feel like we are doing such good job.
Thank you so much.

We hope you enjoy every minute of your time in Cornwall.

We needed a reset. Went on a walk after attending to an important meeting, without a destination and ended up at Porthgwarra.

A gentle circular (ish) walk.

There were beautiful animals, stunning coves, happy walkers and a cuppa at the end.

We are so happy to have the sun shinning upon us again after a very wet winter ☀️💫

Some of you are here and enjoying holiday time, hope you have a fantastic week, it’s going to be sunny most days we think.

In days like today we just want to put on our hiking boots and go…off to the Coast Path not certain of where to go exactly but the sense of adventure and joy is incredible and we can’t resist.

Feeling lucky to have had the time to enjoy a hike today as apparently it is the only sunny day of the week?…

What a beautiful day ☀️🤩

Happy Valentine’s Day.Most importantly, remember to love yourself. ❤️

It was a cloudy day but the air temperature was perfect for a 5 mile walk.

We started in Mylor Bridge village. There is a small car park where you can leave your car if you are driving.

We walked along the circular coast path, it’s a beautiful area and there is also a lovely cafe along the way where we enjoyed a flat white whilst admiring the beautifully presented boats.

Then carried onto Flushing Village, where the beautiful colourful houses reminded us of Spain.

Towards the end of our walk was already lunch time and we had the pleasure of finding a table available where we enjoyed a lovely hearty meal and a delicious cup of tea.

We thoroughly recommend this walk if you are finishing your walking holiday in Falmouth.
Mention it when enquiring and we will try to accommodate it for you.

What a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

I took sometime for myself this morning and went to which is located only a few steps away from the .

Facilities include a wood-fired Nordic style sauna with a cold drench bucket and hot shower, a wood-fired hot tub and cold dip tanks. There is a changing area and toilet, and a seating area for those who would like to stay a bit longer and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

Hot and cold (contrast) therapy involves alternating between hot and cold application on all of or certain areas of the body.

Someof the benefits of hot and cold therapy are:
Relieves pain in muscles and joints
·Improves circulation
·reduces inflammation and swelling
·Speeds healing and recovery
·Boosts energy levels and mood
·Improves mental clarity and alertness
·Burns fat
·Increases range of motion

It was a deeply relaxing experience and I would like to recommend it to our clients, whom might enjoy a little relaxation before, during or after a fun walking holiday.

In my opinion, it could be the perfect place to go to as you approach Porthcurno, coming from Sennen (booking in advance is essential).
You can have a quick shower and then emerse yourself in the hottub resting those exhausted "working feet".

Thank you so much
for giving us the chance to Reconnect with ourselves and nature.

We love dropping off our clients's information packs.
Specially when they are staying
In St Ives.
There is always a little moment of calm after the storm.

Mousehole in it's glory.

It's sunny and gorgeous in the south west and the preparations for Gallowan are on full swing.

We escaped to Mousehole for some quiet peer jumping and it was spectacular.

As per picture.

Million mile Beach clean is back and 250 wonderful conscious individuals turned up and helped out picking rubbish up last week.

We met at who kindly kept everyone going offering a hot drink each.

Everyone was in good spirits and great form! There were lots of children helping out (including our lovelies) and made their day handing out lovely gift bags containing some cool plastic free prizes which everyone loved.

Then, we all headed to where we enjoyed a slice of cake and the children were absolutely delighted with some yummy hot dogs. Great Job guys!

This is the beauty of community power and we are so proud to have been part of this amazing event.

Hats off to (super woman) Rachel Yates who doesn't miss out one beach clean!
And ofcourse, for bringing the kids and dog to the beach on a windy day!!!! 😉🤭

Love Penzance
