Walking West Cornwall

<body style="background-color: #C2DCFF"> <p class="style1"><strong>Walking West Cornwall</strong></p> <font face="Comic Sans MS" size="2">West Cornwall is undoubtedly one of the best walking locations in Britain, Its numerous footpaths, bridleways, byways and green lanes can take you through a wide range of landscapes from sandy beaches to rocky coves and rugged heaths all within a few miles.</font> <p><font face="Comic Sans MS" size="2">We have put together the above walks in order that you too can enjoy the rambles which we have discovered. While we have taken every reasonable care in the production of these walks and other material on this website we can assume no responsibility for accuracy (but if you come across any problems or errors please <a href="mailto:mail@HayleEye.co.uk?subject=Walks">let us know</a> and we will correct them).</font></p> <p><font face="Comic Sans MS" size="2">We welcome reviews of our walks. If you have done any of our walks then please feel free to contact us an <a href="mailto:mail@HayleEye.co.uk?subject=Walks">let us know</a> what you thought of it. </font></p> <p><font face="Comic Sans MS" size="2">In particular: When did you do the walk? Did you enjoy the walk? Were our descriptions clear and easy to follow? - if not how can we improve them? Were the paths unobstructed, stiles in good repair etc? (in the unlikely event that a path was impassable or obstructed in some way please report this directly to <a title="Report footpath problem" href="http://www.cornwall.gov.uk/index.cfm?articleid=5860">Cornwall County Council</a> and or <a target="_blank" href="http://www.ramblers.org.uk/campaigns/report.html"> The Ramblers </a></font></p> <p><font face="Comic Sans MS" size="2">Can you provide additional notes, (historical, geological, archaeological etc) that would enlighten other walkers? If so <a href="mailto:mail@HayleEye.co.uk?subject=Walks">we would welcome them.</a></font></p> <h1 class="style1">Flora and Fauna</h1> <p style="height: 42px" class="style2">The mild climate of Cornwall, the wide variety of habitats, and the less intensive nature of farming in Cornwall has  lead to a great diversity of rich habitats equally important for wildlife and plantlife. coastal dunes, lowland heath, ancient woodlands and traditional meadows can all be found within the peninsula and as a result there is an unusual diversity of flora and fauna, some of which we have attempted to show in the following pages.<br /> <br /> For convenience we have divided this section according to the predominant colour of the flowers of plants and the type of animals. This is a rough and ready division and there may be some overlap. It is very difficult for example to decide exactly which section a some plants should be in.<br /> <br /> We rely on amateur photographers and botanists to provide the photos and to identify them. We welcome your contributions. If you have a photo which you would like to see published on this site, perhaps you have photographed something that we have missed, or you have a better photo than ours, then we would be pleased to receive it. If you believe that we have incorrectly identified anything, then again we would like to know. All contributions will be fully credited.</p> <h1 class="style1">Local Walking Groups</h1> <p class="style2">T<span class="style3">here are numerous walking groups all of which welcome new walkers and visitors</span></p> <p class="style2"><span class="style5">West Cornwall Footpaths Association</span><span class="style3"><br /> Usually two walks per week (one long, one short).
