At Kernara, we believe the guide makes the journey. Every member of our team is a Cornwall insider; they know the villages, the coves, and the moorland they'll walk you through. The history they share is personal, the detours are theirs to choose, and the recommendation for where to eat tonight comes from someone who ate there last week.
Each guide brings something different; their own passions, their own favourite hidden corners, their own way of revealing the Duchy to you. Some are storytellers, drawn to the history and myth woven into these clifftops. Others are adventurers at heart, happiest on the wildest stretches of coast. A Kernara tour guide doesn't just lead the walk - they're the reason the walk matters.
Every guide has deep personal roots in the Duchy. They grew up here, they live here, and they're proud to show you the place they call home.
History, culture, nature — our guides bring landscapes to life. Every cliff path and cove has a story, and they know how to make you feel it.
Private access and insider experiences, because of who they know. Their relationships across the Duchy open doors that no guidebook or booking site can.
Our guides care about the people they walk with, not just the path ahead. They'll remember your interests, adjust the day to suit your energy, and make sure you always feel looked after.
