Walk this way

If you’re planning a trip to the UK for the Northern Hemisphere summer – and the weather plays ball – consider hiking Cornwall’s new 140km walking route. Or at least a segment. The Tamara Coast to Coast Way flanks the River Tamar and the border between Cornwall and Devon, allowing for a circular walk that loops around the entire county. Allow about seven days.
