Fuller detail
Here is the first of two opportunities this spring with Sheila Gwyn to sample some of the very best intermediate walks on both the north and south coasts of Cornwall's superb Penwith Peninsula. At Easter the wild flowers will be coming into bloom in this more temperate corner of England. This holiday is based at the very comfortable Chy-an-Albany Hotel overlooking St Ives. From here we can explore this wild and rugged granite coastline with the sea always present and where seals and dolphins are often seen. On some days we will have transport to the gentler south coast or venture inland. Walks can include places like Sennen Cove, Lands End, Porthcurno, Mullion Cove, Porthleven, and Marazion with its close proximity to St Michael's Mount. There will also be a day off from walking to explore St Ives with its many art galleries, cafes, narrow streets, and white sandy beaches. At the 3* Chy-an-Albany Hotel we have reserved all ensuite single rooms without a supplement! (Or you can pay less to share an ensuite twin if you prefer - just ask us). The hotel stands in its own grounds overlooking St Ives Bay, 10 minutes walk from the town centre and picturesque harbour, and a 2 minute uphill walk from the train station (or a very short taxi ride). This holiday is priced on a full board basis, including evening meals in the hotel restaurant. (No single supplement to pay).
