Magic of the Minack

1 Day
Magic of the Minack – Cornwall (good fitness level required)

This weekend, is a micro adventure into some very special locations, woven into deepest, darkest Cornwall. It is designed to be a stunning opportunity to reconnect with nature and enjoy the most beautiful scenery. We’ll walk some of the South West coast path and leap into the crystal clear, turquoise waters.

Overview

Getting there: You’ll be responsible for making your own travel arrangements.

Meeting time: 8:30 on Saturday morning ready to walk and swim from 9:00 Meeting place: Porthcurno car par park, by the beach

The times may vary as we’d ideally like to hit mid-low tide to really enjoy the pools.

We would advise you to bring the following:

  • Sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses
  • Flip flops and suitable walking footwear
  • Consider old footwear that you don’t mind getting wet and muddy
  • Some warm clothing to change into after your swim
  • Lightweight waterproof and warm coat (weather depending)
  • Drinking water
  • Swimming goggles and a towel

If you are looking for camping options nearby please have a look at the campsites listed below.  

Accommodation – (you are responsible for booking your own accommodation but here are some campsites). I recommend staying in St Buyran for three reasons. It’s a great site, has a lovely local pub and we can rendezvous easily in the morning.

"Just got back from an amazing day feeling nicely exhausted and with a huge sense of achievement. I would say this trip is ideal for someone like me who doesn’t have the confidence to walk the SW coastal path and wild swim by themselves but is keen for adventure and wants to explore this beautiful part of the UK. Edward the guide is so friendly and helpful. He clearly loves sharing the beauty of this very special area. His local knowledge is great and he showed us some stunningly secluded beaches with golden sand and crystal clear waters. I would love to go back and do it all again!" ~ J Shambrook

"Edward is an amazing person to speak to and has plenty of local knowledge. Highlight of the trip for me has been petting some gentle horses right next to a hidden beach which is only accessible on foot. It was a lovely experience only made better with the warm weather we were so incredibly lucky to have. Also, to quote Edward, "there is no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing". The campsite recommended by him was clean, quiet, had ample amount of space and all the amenities we really needed. I went on this trip with no big expectations and returned with two full days' worth of delightful memories. The itinerary was well thought out and I hugely enjoyed the coastal walk with pit stops to experience the strong Cornish waves.

Already looking forward to re-visiting next summer!"
