Carnewas bus route walking trail in North Cornwall gives walkers a straightforward way to reach open coast and farmland paths without needing a car. Much of the route follows the South West Coast Path, so you can expect wide sea views and a clear sense of direction. Because the trail uses existing public footpaths, it suits people who like to plan a day around bus times and a steady pace. Natural, uneven surfaces mean sturdy footwear helps. Then, once you leave the road and join the path, the landscape opens out quickly towards the coast.
What to expect on the path
The trail has moderate terrain along natural, uneven surfaces. It can also be muddy during wet weather, because the route crosses farmland and coastal ground that holds water. Slopes and steps appear along the way, and some sections run beside unfenced clifftops. Walkers should keep dogs close and remain aware of the edge. Also, the bus route aspect means you can start and finish from different stops, which makes a linear walk easier to arrange. You will not find a purpose built surfaced path here. Instead, you follow worn footpaths that feel part of the working Cornish landscape. Take your time on the climbs, and pause where the path widens to enjoy the sea air.
