A trail running holiday from Falmouth to Plymouth along the South West Coast Path.
From £430 per person
Perhaps the most gentle stage of the South West Coast Path, our trail running holiday along South Cornwall’s coast runs from Falmouth to Plymouth. It’s still far from flat, ascending jutting headlands to enjoy brilliant views of some of Cornwall’s prettiest seaside villages, but a series of pathways along estuaries, wooded inlets and sandy coves offer gradual slopes and plenty of shade. The Royal Citadel of Plymouth gives the route an imposing finish. It’s also a great place to buy a celebratory ice cream.

The Falmouth to St Mawes Ferry operates all year round. However, the St Mawes to Place/St Anthony’s Head Ferry only operates from 30th March to 1st November. If the ferry is not running the alternative is a water taxi. As the water taxi service during the winter months is limited, advance booking is essential; please contact us to discuss your requirements.

This itinerary lists our preferred overnight stops for this tour. Sometimes there may be a shortage of available accommodation in a preferred location, in which case we will transfer you from the trail to your accommodation and back again at no extra charge. Overnight stops marked with a (T) will always require transfers as standard.
Overnight stops marked with an (L) have very limited accommodation, and therefore more often than not will also require a transfer, particularly on bank holidays and weekends. We will use non-transfer accommodation wherever possible.
The daily mileages quoted are average trail miles only and do not include the distance from the trail to your accommodation. We do not expect you to have to travel more than a mile from the trail to your accommodation; should your accommodation be further than this, transfers will be provided as standard.
Below are the additional costs that may apply depending on your requirements. Dog-friendly tours are subject to a Daily Dog Charge, which will be listed below if applicable. Our standard prices per person are based upon two people sharing a room; if you are on your own, or are part of a group but require a room of your own, then the Solo Traveller or Single Supplements apply respectively:
