Missed out on Harry Styles tickets? Well, don't worry, there is now a new 'official Stiles Tour' which has made its way into Cornwall.
As Harry Styles fans prepare for a 12-night Wembley residency, a quieter British headliner is waiting on the UK’s trails.
This June, outdoor exploration app AllTrails is offering walkers, nature lovers, and music fans an alternative to the stadium queues, with The Stiles Tour.
AllTrails has curated a premier list of beautiful and scenic UK stiles, inviting the public to gather together on the trails and catch these footpath icons live.
A fixture of our rights of way, these historic timber steps and stone crossings unlock the British landscape.
By providing vital access over boundaries, stiles make it possible for many walkers to navigate thousands of miles of public footpaths, inviting them to venture a little further and discover the beauty of the great outdoors.
Where in Cornwall?
Padstow and Camel Estuary, Cornwall
A gorgeous coastal and estuary loop passing through the historic town of Padstow and the old manor house of Prideaux Place, featuring coastal views and a stone stile to help hikers get there.
AllTrails states: "A circular route from the picturesque town of Padstow on the north coast of Cornwall. The walk gives you the chance to explore the heart of the small Cornish town, before climbing out to follow the coastal path alongside the estuary of the River Camel.
"The route then returns along arable field paths and farm tracks passing the old manor house of Prideaux Place. Within the town you'll have chance to explore the many quaint small shops, cafes and pubs or take a boat trip and once you're out onto the coastal path the views are really breathtaking."
It estimates the walk will take around two hours to complete.
