Overview
Overview
We’re proud to partner with St Austell Brewery, a brand celebrated for its exceptional ales and West Country hospitality, to bring you an unforgettable walking holiday experience. The St Austell Bay Ale Trail perfectly blends the natural beauty of the South West Coast Path with the flavours of the brewery’s award-winning ales. But it’s not just about the ales—St Austell Brewery’s pubs are renowned for their outstanding food. Together, we’ve designed a holiday where walkers can savour both the landscape and the flavours that make this region truly special. With the option to include a behind-the-scenes St Austell Brewery tour if you choose a rest day in Charlestown, this is more than a walking holiday—it’s a celebration of craftsmanship, quality, and the best of the South West.

TRIP TESTIMONIAL
An Ale lovers dream
Kitchen
2 - 3 months
I love this stretch of the coast path, It has such a variety of terrain and landscape. It's also the second time I've done the St. Austell Brewery tour, and every time I have learned something different, as well as getting to sample some of their small batch ales.
