Walking on the Roseland and the Coastal Path

The great thing about Cornwall is that it enjoys the mildest climate in Britain.  Guests can enjoy walking here not only in the summer months, but also early and late in the year, when other parts of the country are still in winter plumage.

Roseland walks

The western-most edge of the Roseland Peninsula is a place of open fields, windswept coastline, secluded bays and ancient woodland.  Some of the Roseland's most beautiful walks are accessed from the top of our winding driveway - from 45 minute ambles up to full day hikes.

Cornwall Coastal Path

The coast of Cornwall, one of the most beautiful coastlines in England.  From towering cliffs, windblown estuaries, superb surf beaches, fishing coves, harbours, to sheltered tree lined creeks, even an island topped by a castle. The Cornwall Coastal Path Coast Footpath makes so much of it accessible to the walker and hiker.  Many of the most stunning parts of the Coastal Path are within easy reach from Roundhouse Barns.
