Cornwall
A Motorhome, Campervan and Caravan Touring Guide with 23 Walks, Real Maps and the Pubs at the End of Them
Six touring bases around Cornwall, each one a place to stay for two to four nights without moving the van. For every base you get somewhere to park up and the reason to choose it, the walks, the pub worth stopping at, a wet-day plan and a three-day plan you can follow as it is.
- 23 walks, from a 30-minute harbour stroll to a full day on the coast path, each with a real map, a height profile and a GPX route for your phone
- A short, gentle walk in every base, for tired legs or an older dog
- A driving map for every base: the lanes to avoid, the low bridges and weight limits, and the car parks a motorhome can actually use
- Campsites for motorhomes, campervans and caravans, with hook-up, water, waste points, showers and dog rules, all checked and dated
- Shops, fuel, a vet and a launderette near every base, and five dry things to do when it rains
