Meet Lucy 🥾

Cornwall is in Lucy’s blood, her family have lived here since before 1531. A qualified Lowland Leader, she has walked every mile of the South West Coast Path, and has given more than a decade to the path itself, six of those years as a Trustee of the South West Coast Path Association. That work earned her team the King’s Award for Voluntary Service.

Based in Fowey, she leads Stone & Story, combining five days from wild moorland down to the water’s edge with literary legend, from the trails that inspired Daphne du Maurier to the Bronze Age stone circles above.

Lucy’s selected restaurants focus on high quality, locally sourced ingredients, and each day finishes with a luxury hotel. Spend a week with Lucy and you’re in the safest, most knowledgeable hands in the Duchy.

Pendeen Lighthouse 🌊

Built in 1900, this lighthouse was raised to steer ships safely around West Cornwall’s shoreline between Pendeen and Gurnards Head, the stretch that was previously a blind spot. First lit on 3rd October 1900, the lighthouse was designed by Trinity House engineer Sir Thomas Matthews. It stands on the Tin Coast above the old mines of Geevor, Levant and Botallack, a key feature of Cornwall’s legendary industrial heritage.

• Cape Cornwall •

Cape Cornwall is one of only two true capes in Britain, the other being in Northern Scotland. It’s a headland that sticks out at the point where the currents split, some water heading north to the Irish Sea and the rest into the Channel.

The monument at the top is the Stack, a chimney built in 1864 for the boiler of the Cape Cornwall Mine. The mine worked tin and copper between 1838 and 1883. When it closed and the engine house came down, the chimney was left standing to help ships find their way past the coast. It’s been there ever since.

The headland is now part of the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The cliffs behind it, out towards St Just, Botallack and Pendeen, are covered in the old engine houses of a coast that once produced two-thirds of the world’s copper.

Explore this incredible stretch of coastlines during our From Coast to Castle or Legacy & Landscapes tours.
