Trewena, Falmouth

15/10/2026

October is one of the best walking months in Cornwall. The coast path is quiet, the Cornish woodlands are turning red and orange, and the light goes long and gold by mid-afternoon. We've rounded up our favourite autumn walks within easy reach of Trewena, including a couple you can walk to straight from the cottages.

October mornings at the Tractor Shed start slowly. Low sun across the orchard, French doors open for as long as the air allows, coffee on the patio before anyone's talking about plans. All on one level and the newest of Trewena's three cottages. Built for couples.

Ask people who live in Cornwall the best time to visit would be and many will say autumn. We've rewritten our guide to why, and how to make the most of it as a couple: September, October and November month by month, the walks, the gardens, the seals, the food and the storms. The Oyster Festival starts today in Falmouth, too.

As the nights draw in and we start pulling on our favourite jumper before heading out, it's time to start looking for places that give off that cosyness vibe. In my opinion Cornwall's fishing villages do this with gusto. Cadgwith in October is cosyness personified. Fishing boats pulled up on the shingle, thatched cottages stepping down to the cove, and a pint inside the Cadgwith Cove Inn with the sea right there.

C***r pressing season is a great time to visit Healey's Cyder Farm near Newquay. Not the worst excuse to taste your way through the c***rs, apple juices and Cornish Rattler in the tasting room. An easy day out from Trewena, and a good excuse to take a bottle back to the cottage. Our guide on the blog.

There's a point in autumn when an evening in stops being a fallback and becomes the best part of the day.

Little Avalon was made for times like these. Finish your afternoon walk as the light begins to go, get the wood burner going, and settle in with a glass of something and nowhere else to be. The rain can do what it likes outside. Built for two, and at its best on nights like these.

Mornings at Little Avalon. Coffee in the garden, the beams and the quiet, and no particular reason to rush anywhere. It's the most traditional of our cottages, built for two, and people tend to fall for it.

If you only do one day trip from here, make it the Lizard. It's the drive Rich sends everyone on: Kynance Cove, Lizard Point (the actual bottom of Britain), lunch at Cadgwith, and Roskilly's for ice cream on the way home. A full, brilliant day. We've written the whole route up.

A complete one-day driving itinerary around the Lizard Peninsula: Church Cove, Kynance, Lizard Point, Cadgwith, the old serpentine works and Roskilly's farm.

Three acres to roam and relax in away from it all. That's what we offer at Trewena. There's a wildflower meadow that hums all summer, a little patch of woods, and a fire pit that's seen a lot of good evenings. Guests often tell us they came for Cornwall and ended up spending half their stay just out here. We understand it completely.

Gyllyngvase on a late-summer afternoon. Blue Flag sand, a proper swim, the Gylly Beach cafe for afterwards, and Pendennis Castle keeping watch across the bay. Ten minutes from the door, and still our favourite way to end a warm day.
