Stay - Cornish Celtic Way

Cornish Celtic Way Passport

The Cornish Celtic Way Passport is not only for collecting the ink stamps along the route, but also gives you access to budget accommodation in atmospheric churches, church halls with more facilities and some B&Bs too. Each walker will need to have a Cornish Celtic Way passport with them as well as a sleeping bag and mat. The booking contact details for the accommodation providers is sent out to passport holders.

There are also youth hostels (YHA) at Eden, Treyarnon, Perranporth, Portreath and Penzance.

ACCOMMODATION

Please read below for some possible accommodation that can help you walk large sections of the Cornish Celtic way. Please note, the churches and halls that are budget accommodation providers, require each walker to have a Cornish Celtic Way passport and this accommodation is organised by volunteers and they need as much notice as possible: 7-14 days is best.
