Walking

There are stunning walks on the Roseland and across Cornwall

The Nare is situated on the Roseland Peninsula - an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty - and is surrounded by beautiful, unspoilt National Trust land. The South West Coast Path runs alongside the hotel offering instant access to some of Cornwall’s most beautiful coastal walks.

The Nare's Chauffeur Service makes it easy to access any part of the Cornish coast path and walk in a single direction. There is also the option to book a bespoke guided walk with Simon Hammond (see below).

The nearby Fal River has lovely walks along sheltered river footpaths, through woodlands, and close to the water's edge. Here the estuaries are alive with birds, the river is bustling with life, and a walk is always an adventure.

GUIDED WALKS

Guided walks are a great way to discover Cornish scenery that lies further from the hotel than one would ordinarily venture alone. Walks are tailored to suit your requirement with the option of half or full day walks. They are ideally suited to groups of six people and can include a picnic or lunch at an approved gastro pub.
