Changeable!

September is a fantastic month to travel to Cornwall, with pleasant daytime hiking temperatures and cool, crisp evenings.

The South West Path and Cornwall, in general, is surrounded by the sea and can be wild and woolly at times. But, there's no such thing as bad weather, only poor clothing choices, so come prepared to dress in layers and embrace all that Mother Nature throws at us.

The average temperature range in September is 8° / 11° c, and on average, there are 11 days with rain.

We keep things quite small on our adventures for a few reasons. First, we need to ensure everyone is well looked after and safe, and second, we need to protect the sensitive flora and fauna we are hiking through.

There is a maximum of 14 women plus your WEA Guide on this adventure.

We like to say Small Groups, Big Adventure!

If you're flying into London, there are a few ways to travel to our starting point in St Ives, Cornwall.

• Bus: National Express and Megabus operate coaches into Cornwall
  

• Trains: Cornwall Trains (St Ives Train Station) leave from Paddington Station
  

• Air: You can fly to Cornwall from Gatwick and London Stansted. Cornwall Airport Newquay is served by various routes across the UK and beyond.

We'll send you a full packing list once you book, here are a few suggestions.

With any form of cancellation, WEA will do their best to offer you alternative arrangements. If the price of your alternative adventure is of lower value than the original booking, we will refund the difference, less any charges, to you.

If you do not accept the alternative arrangements, WEA will grant a refund at its sole discretion. However, if the cancellation is due to ‘force majeure’, government travel advice, a pandemic, or a similar event that prevents the safe operation of the tour, no refunds will be offered. If offered a refund, it will be less unrecoverable costs. WEA will not be liable for any incidental expenses that you may have incurred as a result of your booking being cancelled, including but not limited to visas, vaccinations, travel insurance excess or non-refundable flights.
