Weekend Trip – Boscastle, Cornwall
Thursday 25th - Sunday 28th April 2024
Boscastle is a village on the north coast of Cornwall perfectly situated for coastal walks along the south west coast path and on Bodmin moor.

We will have three full days of walking, two of which will be point to point utilising public transport (or if needed some clever car manoeuvring) to walk back to Boscastle along the coastal path and one of which will be exploring Bodmin moor going up Cornwall's highest peak Brown Willy as well as the slightly lower Rough Tor. The coastal days will have some significant ascents and descents.

For those who would prefer shorter walks or just less up and down there are some great options including a walk along the coastal path to Tintagel castle and then on to St Nectans Glen. Walks in and around Port Isaac a beautiful fishing village used as a set location for several shows including Poldark and Doc Martin. Boscastle is home to the Museum of Witchcraft and Magic which holds one of the largest collections in the world of it's kind, and provides another option for those who would prefer not to do a longer walk

At current I have two cottages reserved on Cargurra Park Farm which will sleep 12, with 6 in each cottage. If there are more than 12 people wanting to join the trip there is potential to change the booking to the YHA in Boscastle once this opens - depending of course on the cost. The cottages are side by side. Having spoken to the owners it may not be possible for us all to comfortably sit around one table to enjoy our merry meals together however there is outside seating that we would all fit around should the weather allow.

The estimated cost for the trip, based on 8 people is £215 for group travel and £175 for independents. Based on 12 people it would be £165 for group travel and £125 for independents.
