Coastal Walks

Take the opportunity to get out in the fresh air for a peaceful and tranquil start to the year. Enjoy the freedom of relaxing walks by the seaside where you'll discover quaint coastal towns, colourful harbours, and picturesque seaside villages. Stop along the way for a cup of tea or tuck into their fresh calamari, quintessentially British fish and chips and local European fare to get a true taste of the region you're visiting.

At Headwater, we love the picture-perfect views and the rejuvenating affect the water's edge can have, which is why we've designed a number of interest-packed waterside walking trips across the UK and Europe. So, whether you're looking to wander the famous Lizard Peninsula towards Saint Michael's Mount in Cornwall, enjoy a stroll along the sun-kissed shores of Santa Galdana Bay Walk in Menorca or take a walk back in time on a trip to the sweeping sea cliffs on the Jurassic Coast, you're bound to find the perfect place to unwind by the water with us.

Take a look at our relaxing walks by the coast where you can visit pastel-hued harbours, picturesque villages and Iron Age Forts along the way, or visit our blog for more inspiration…
