Explore Cornwall on Foot: Walking Breaks at The Esplanade

Whether you’re a seasoned hiker, a nature-loving family, or a couple seeking a romantic escape, The Esplanade offers the perfect Walking Break to reconnect with the beauty of Cornwall.

Available in May, June, September, October, November, and March, our Walking Break combines the joys of fresh air and scenic trails with the comfort and luxury of our hotel. Enjoy two nights in our beautifully appointed rooms, with breakfast each morning and a two-course dinner in the Cove Restaurant each evening.

On your walking day, we’ll provide a packed lunch to fuel your adventures and a hot drink on your return, allowing you to relax and savour the experience. Each package includes a recommended walking route, whether you’re exploring the dramatic coastline, tranquil woodlands, or hidden coves that make Cornwall so special.

Families will love our FREE Build-My-Bear gift when booking direct, while adults can indulge in 10% off treatments at Fistral Spa, offering a peaceful retreat after a day on the trails. Hotel facilities, including the pool and sauna, are also available for a restorative soak or unwind.

From invigorating walks along the coast to leisurely strolls through Cornish countryside, The Esplanade’s Walking Breaks offer the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation. Step outside, breathe in the fresh sea air, and return to the warmth and comfort of your Cornish retreat - it’s an escape that feeds the body, mind, and soul.

Book your Walking Break today and discover Cornwall at its most breath-taking.
