A Tinners Tale of Two Valleys

1 Day

Step into this incredible journey of Cornwall’s famous mining history. St Just is the beginning of this adventure into mining history and also into the two valleys north and south of the town. The Cot valley and Kenidjack valley are truly beautiful locations that feature unique flora and a wealth of Cornish character.

Our trip will offer stunning walking and swimming opportunities that rival any other.

Overview

We’ll begin our walk from the main car park in St Just.  This circular walk will lead us through two beautiful valleys where we’ll find swimming spots and vistas to treasure.

We’ll also look at Cornwall’s famous mining history.  This UNESCO world heritage site is an amazing insight into the men that risked it all for tin, a pasty for their lunch and you’ll learn where the famous phrase ‘Oggy Oggy Oggy’ comes from.

"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!"
