Other Discerning Traveller hiking tours
Discerning Traveller offers other coastal walking tours:
Cornwall’s long and dramatic coastline is a wonderland for hikers and walkers. We offer a choice of three different week-long self-guided tours along the cliff-top footpath taking in tiny fishing villages and remote sandy beaches.
The rugged cliffs of the 300km (186 mile) long Pembrokeshire Coast Path National Trail offer some of the finest hiking to be found anywhere. Our two 1-week tours both end at the tiny city of St Davids.
‘[I particularly liked] the views, along the coast path and on the ridge. The walk through the range on Sunday morning was paradise, no-one to be seen until 11am…Thank you very much for this well-documented tour.’

…the rich variety of bed and breakfasts… The magnificent scenery…It was good to walk from one meal to another, feeling like a real connoisseur in a place you never were before…it was very well organised… we met jealous comments from fellow walkers (heav[il]y loaded) about our “very refined” way of doing a walking tour – when they spotted the taxi driver coming to collect our luggage’.
‘…all in all: a very nice vacation, Well arranged. [We particularly liked] the nature, the suroundings, the weather, the nice people. [The accommodation at Corfe Castle was] wonderfully hospitable.’Mr, Mrs and Miss Snippe
