Tried and tested routes for your next adventure
When you don’t need a group, or a plan - just a place to begin.
These walks offer a gentle starting point, with routes and guidance you can follow in your own way, in your own time.

I use the Ordinance Survey App to record the walks on this page for you to follow.
You’ll be able to follow a simplified version of the map without paying for a subscription.
However, with a subscription you’ll have more access to detail and the ability to download the map ahead of time incase you don’t have signal on your route. If you’re a new user, there is a 14 day free trial available.
It can feel a little overwhelming navigating the app at first, but there how to videos to help you. It’s worth a little persistence as it has lots of great features like:
route planning and plotting
saving your own walks
accessing other people’s saved walks
it shows your live location on the map at all times, and what direction you’re facing.

Learning to comfortably navigate with the OS Maps app empowered me to explore new places as I can see all the available footpath I can always see where I am on the map!
St Agnes Circular via Chapel Porth and St Agnes Beacon
This walk has it all - it starts with a bakery, passes along the iconic Wheal Coates mine, pauses mid way for a swim, croque monsier and a famous Iced Hedgehog (Cornish ice-cream, smothered in Cornish clotted cream and lazily rolled in hazelnuts) and heads home via St Agnes beacon for far reaching views and a chance to digest!
