After months at home, we're more than ready to stretch our legs on a great British walking holiday and Cornwall offers all the goods when it comes to coastal paths, country trails and plenty of cultural attractions to take in along the way.

With all eyes on Cornwall this year (it's the location for the G7 Summit in June and its beaches win countless awards), now is the time to start planning a trip before they sell out.

While it's no secret destination, there's a reason why everyone loves the beauty spot: the flour-soft beaches, dramatic cliffs and exotic gardens are just a few. So, why wouldn't we want to celebrate our newfound freedom here?

What makes it so desirable to solo travellers is the abundance of things to see and do, the warm and friendly locals, and varied landscapes that guarantee you'll never tire of exploring its beauty.

That's why Good Housekeeping is bringing you its first walking holiday in Cornwall for solos, where you can join a small group and get to know the county on two feet.

On this active break, every day is different as you set off with a guide for a series of walks that soak up the best of Cornwall, including sections of the dramatic South West Coastal Path.

Ideal if you're looking to make new friends or delve into the world of solo travel for the first time, our walking holiday in Cornwall is the perfect post-lockdown escape.

Taking place in June, July, September and October, it's not just about walking either as you can tick off some of Cornwall's terrific highlights off your bucket list.

You can look forward to a visit to the Lost Gardens of Heligan with an expert gardener, embark on a guided tour of Caerhays Castle and tuck into traditional Cornish cream tea, as well as enjoy a special musical evening of Cornish sea shanties by renowned Falmouth group, the Oggymen.
