About Us

Nearwater Walking Holidays is run by Tim and Amelia Whitaker.

We are both keen walkers and sailors and have explored the Cornish coastline both from the land and sea. The business is run from our home (which we also run as a Bed and Breakfast) in St Mawes very close to the coast path. The walks have been developed with the benefit of our local knowledge to ensure the visiting walker has the chance to see a few extra special places that they would otherwise overlook.

The walks are ideal for serious hikers, leisure walkers and for those who just want to get away from it all, Nearwater offers a hassle-free experience from the day you arrive until your departure.
