4.0 out of 5 stars An essential book for walkers., 21 Jan 2001
By A Customer
The photographs of the standing stones at sunset and the spectacular coastal scenery make you want to wander off the beaten track and see the countryside. Unlike other walking books which only have sketch maps accompanying the routes, each circular walk has its own detailed coloured Ordnance Survey map and very clear notes so it's difficult to get lost. We tried three of the walks each in its own way very different. Walk 2 is called the Men-an-tol, the Nine Maidens and Lanyan Quoit, which has a shorter version if you get tired on the moor or the weather closes in. For each walk, parking details and the approximate time taken are given which is very useful. The short historical notes included the fact that some time ago children crawled through the round stone at Men-an-tol hoping that rickets would be cured. We felt we saw the essence of Cornwall on Walk 24, Zennor to St Ives by the Tinners Way - the prehistoric field patterns at the cliff edge, the stone stiles and cattle grids covered with foxgloves and pennywort, and the sound of the sea pounding on the rocks far below. Although it was a beautiful sunny day in June, we met very few people along the way. We just did half of Walk 14, Lands End and Nanjizal from Sennen as there was so much to see. We sat on the coast path watching the kittiwakes clinging to the cliffs and the seagulls eyeing up our cornish pasties. We gazed at the Longships lighthouse which was clearly visible. This walk was popular with visitors and the path was well defined from Sennen to Lands End, with wonderful views. The book is a good size to fit in a map case and although we were holidaying in Cornwall for a week, felt that there were many more interesting and varied walks left to try another time. There is enough information given but not too much, giving you confidence to 'have a go'.

5.0 out of 5 stars A superb cross-section of Cornwall, 21 Aug 2008
By KAREN PINCHBECK (Derby, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have had this book for many years and have done most of the walks from it. Without exception, they have all been beautiful, breathtaking and thoroughly memorable walks. It's difficult to pick a favourite as they are all very good in their own way, but the clifftop views on the Porthcurno walk take some beating. Not the cheapest book of its type but well worth the money for the fantastic days out it inspires.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent all time favourite book!, 30 May 2008
By V. Williams (North Wales, Great Britain) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As we have loved holidaying in Cornwall over the past seven years,the 'Cornwall: Walks'(Pathfinder Guide)Book has been an excellent guide to take along with us. Gradually over the years we have tried out many of the walks and have spent wonderful days out completing them.
This is an excellent guide which I would recommend to anyone whether on holiday or living in Cornwall.
As well as having an appropriately scaled O.S. Map with clear route directions, there is interesting and descriptive information of features along the way, as well as important information about parking. It makes you feel that someone has spent a long time investigating each walk in a friendly,descriptive manner.
I like how the book is presented having circular walks categorized into 'short easy walks' 'walks of modest length' and 'challenging walks' making the book accessible to all standards of walkers.
(The PathFinder Guides also produce walking books for other areas in the same format.)
We're back in Cornwall this year and we will be definately trying some new walks from this great book!
