How brilliant is it, that in Cornwall and Penzance we host the longest, long-distance waymarked footpath in the UK!

The path was implemented as a National Trail in 1978 and it contains 115,000 feet of ascending and descending path. In fact, the UK is the only country in the world you can legally workaround. Each season can bring with it a different experience.
