Cornwall is magic.

Saints and legends live here, holy wells and ancient crosses by the hundreds, and there is an eeriness in the rock-bound coast that unsettles the unadventurous. This is no place for a person without mystery in them. Here, the past stays alive, and legends aren't stories, they're lived and felt, because among rocks that rise sheer from the Atlantic, crowned in green and threaded with small springs, belief is the only reasonable response.

This is a landscape that asks something of you. Wind that never fully stops. Granite that has stood since before there were names for gods. A coastline so elemental, so unbothered by you, that the only sane response is to become smaller in front of it, and feel something in you loosen at last.

Seven days is enough to fall under its spell, not enough to break it. We go by coast road and moorland track, through fishing villages that still smell of the sea and gardens grown wild and lush in a climate all their own… and for one day, across the Tamar into Devon, because Dartmoor's granite and wild horses are cut from the same untamed cloth, and leaving them out would have been its own kind of dishonesty. Some days are planned to the hour. One evening is not, and one day is left entirely yours, because Cornwall has a way of showing you something you didn't ask for, and the best journeys leave room for that.

This is a journey for those who ache to feel wild again.

DAY ONE | ARRIVAL

We gather together at Cornwall's north coast near Padstow. However you make your way in, we'll help you arrange it. After checking into the hotel, we will gather together for tea and a time to get to know each other. From there, we head along the coast: Bedruthan Steps, where great slate stacks rise straight out of the Atlantic, then on to Port Isaac, the fishing village that feels barely changed by the centuries. Inland, Bodmin Moor waits… wild, empty, and watched over by Jamaica Inn, the old smugglers' coaching house at its center. We gather together as the day closes, with a welcome dinner to begin the journey properly.

Highlights:

• Gather for a tea and introductions

• The slate giants of Bedruthan Steps, rising straight from the Atlantic

• Port Isaac's fishing-village streets, barely touched by time

• A pint at Jamaica Inn, alone against the wind on Bodmin Moor

• Welcome dinner together, the journey properly begun

LIGHT WALKING: 1-2 MILES THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON. BUS 1 HR TO PROPERTY.

DAY TWO | THE FAR WEST

Morning takes us to St Agnes Head and the ruined tin-mine engine house at Wheal Coates, one of the most photographed and most haunting spots on this coast, before Hell's Mouth and on to St Ives for lunch among its narrow streets and studios. Think Poldark scenes. In the afternoon we push toward the very edge of England; Cape Cornwall, the wilder, uncrowned alternative to its more famous neighbor, and the hidden coves of the Penwith peninsula beyond the usual crowds, then Treen, Mousehole, and a stop in Penzance for a drink before dinner. We end the day at the Gurnard's Head, a cliffside inn near Zennor serving some of the best food on this coast, worth every mile back to reach it.

Highlights:

• The haunting ruin of Wheal Coates above St Agnes Head

• Lunch among the narrow streets and studios of St Ives

• Cape Cornwall's wild, uncrowned edge and the hidden coves of Penwith beyond

• An evening at the Gurnard's Head, worth every mile to reach

LIGHT TO MODERATE. LAND ROVER 2 TO 2.5 HOURS. WALKING OPTIONAL AND AT YOUR OWN PACE.

DAY THREE | THE LIZARD COAST South to the Lizard Peninsula, Cornwall's southernmost point and one of its wildest stretches of coast. We stop at Prussia Cove, once a smugglers' haunt, before Kynance Cove.. the turquoise water against serpentine rock, and rightly one of the most celebrated views in Cornwall. A glimpse of Mullion Cove follows, then lunch in Cadgwith, a working fishing cove where the day's catch still comes ashore. In the afternoon, Trebah Gardens: a subtropical ravine garden running down to the Helford River, cool and green, its famous hydrangeas just starting to come into color ahead of their high-summer peak. Falmouth follows for an hour of shopping and wandering the harbor town, then a stop at the Great Cornish Food Store in Truro before dinner at Nancarrow Farm, a working organic farm known for its feast nights.

Highlights:

• Kynance Cove's turquoise water against serpentine rock

• The day's catch for lunch at the Cadgwith Cove Inn

• An unhurried afternoon in Trebah's subtropical ravine, hydrangeas just beginning to bloom

• A feast night at Nancarrow Farm, Cornwall's legendary organic farm table

MODERATE WALKING: 4-6 MILES THROUGHOUT THE DAY. STAIRS AND STEEP HILLS BUS 3 HOURS.

DAY FOUR | ON THE WATER AND THE ROSELAND A morning on the water out of Falmouth.. two hours of sailing along a coastline best seen from the sea, with a good chance of seals and dolphins. Lunch and time to shop in Falmouth follows, then an afternoon walk along the coast path from Portloe, one of Cornwall's least-known and most beautiful fishing villages, with a local storyteller sharing the folklore of this coast as we go. What comes next, we'll leave for the day itself.

Highlights:

• A morning sail from Falmouth, with a good chance of seals and dolphins

• A coastal walk from Portloe with a local storyteller, centuries of Cornish myth underfoot

MODERATE WALKING: 4-6 MILES THROUGHOUT THE DAY. STAIRS AND SOME STEEP HILLS. BUS 1 1/2 HOURS.

DAY FIVE | DARTMOOR A change of scenery: we cross into Devon for a day on Dartmoor, one of England's last true wildernesses… granite tors, open moor, and a horizon with nothing standing between you and it. We drive through the national park itself, stopping to look for the wild ponies that roam free here, feral and unbothered by us. Foals are born on the moor through the spring and early summer, so June often means new ones at their mothers' sides… and pause at the Warren House Inn, one of the highest and oldest pubs in England, fire always lit against the wind. From there, a choice of Ashburton, with its shops and lunch, or tea in Widecombe-in-the-Moor, the moor's best-known village. We return to Harlyn Bay by early evening, evening free.

Highlights:

• Wild ponies, foals often among them this time of year, and open granite tors on the drive through Dartmoor

• A fireside pint at the Warren House Inn, one of England's highest, oldest pubs

• A choice of Ashburton's shops or tea in Widecombe-in-the-Moor

MODERATE WALKING: 2-4 MILES THROUGHOUT THE DAY. BUS 2 HOURS

DAY SIX | FREE DAY A day entirely your own. Sail, kayak, or simply take the beach at Harlyn. Visit the Lost Gardens of Heligan or the Eden Project, both roughly an hour south, or make the shorter drive up the coast to Tintagel, said birthplace of King Arthur. For those who'd rather slow down, a Cornish cream tea awaits somewhere along the way. Whatever you choose, we'll help you arrange the transport to get there. We gather again at 7pm for farewell drinks and dinner together, closing the journey the way it began.

Highlights:

• A day entirely your own: sailing, kayaking, or the beach at Harlyn

• Heligan, Eden, or Tintagel, King Arthur's said birthplace, whichever calls

• Farewell drinks and dinner together, the journey come full circle

THIS DAY IS DETERMINED BY YOU. NO BUS.

Final breakfast before parting ways. After an amazing 6 days together, it’s time to say goodbye.
