The Lizard Peninsula Circular Walk, Cornwall
Best for: cake breaks
Starting from Kynance Cove, the Lizard coastal trail takes you on a ramble to the most southerly tip of mainland Britain. Passing wildflower meadows, dramatic rock formations and secluded bays, this route might seem like a somewhat leisurely one, but don't be fooled: there are plenty of challenging climbs throughout. For that reason, we strongly suggest attempting it with an experienced mate - and by that we mean someone who's ventured further than their local common. Enjoy a picnic pit stop at Polpeor Cove, or opt for a seafood lunch or snack break at the water-facing Wavecrest Café, whose Cornish cream teas and delightful sponge cakes make every step worthwhile.
Distance: 11.2km Duration: three to three-and-a-half hours
