National Trust and Countryside Walking Routes

A vast majority of the countryside in North Cornwall is nationally recognised as being of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with particular wildlife and historic interest. Finding a good walk in Bude has been described as being as simple as stepping outside your door because of the many public footpaths and bridleways.

The picture above shows the coastal path leading from Sandymouth Bay to Bude, and is part of the trail from Bude to Marsland Mouth. The entire trail is approximately 10 miles in length and it is suggested that you allowat least 6 hours to complete. Parts of it have been described by the South West Way association as 'severe', particularly between Duckpool and Marsland Mouth. The walk is relatively easy until you get to Duckpool, and gets steadily harder. Most of the walk is very remote, and has been claimed to be some of the remotest coast in England.

Other walks and trails include the Duckpool circular walk, which is approx. 5 miles in length and will take around 3 hours to complete, and the Morwenstow walk, which is also 5 miles and will take approx. 4 hours to complete.
