See Cornwall with a local guide and discover the stories, landscapes and attractions behind the scenery.
A guided sightseeing tour can help visitors explore farther afield without planning every detail themselves. Cornwall Discovery was highlighted by the established Golds guide for locally informed trips across the county. A guide can add historical context, local stories and practical knowledge to visits that might otherwise be difficult to combine in one day.

Good to know
Prepare for the coast path
Distances alone do not show how demanding a coastal route can be. Allow for steep climbs, uneven surfaces and exposed weather. Take water, suitable footwear and layers, and check tides where the route uses beaches. Plan return transport before starting a point-to-point walk.
- Carry water and weatherproof layers
- Use an up-to-date route map
- Arrange return transport in advance
