The South West Coastal Path

Welcome to St Kew Shepherd Huts, where rustic charm meets breathtaking natural beauty in the heart of Cornwall. Nestled just moments from the iconic South West Coastal Path, our unique shepherd huts offer a cozy, stylish retreat for walkers, nature lovers, and anyone seeking a peaceful escape.

Walk the Legendary South West Coastal Path

The South West Coastal Path is one of the UK’s most celebrated long-distance trails, stretching 630 miles around Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, and Somerset. And the best part? St Kew Shepherd Huts is perfectly situated for you to access this stunning coastal walk with ease.

Whether you’re planning a day stroll or embarking on a longer adventure, the path offers:

• Unrivalled coastal views of dramatic cliffs, golden beaches, and wild moorlands
• Diverse wildlife including seabirds, seals, and wildflowers
• Charming seaside villages and historic landmarks along the way
• Fresh sea air and invigorating exercise, making it ideal for all ages and abilities

On the doorstep of the South West Coast Path — Resilience and the Restorative Power of Nature

Staying at St Kew Shepherd Huts puts you within easy reach of the South West Coast Path and the North Cornwall coastline, with Port Isaac close by for harbour views and clifftop walks — recognisable to many as “Portwenn” from Doc Martin.

From here, day trips are straightforward: Tintagel for its dramatic headland and Arthurian legend, Boscastle for rugged coastal scenery, and Delabole for Cornwall’s slate heritage. You can also mix in Padstow and Rock for waterfront wandering, Polzeath for sand and sea air, and Wadebridge for the Camel Trail cycle route that runs between Wenfordbridge/Bodmin, Wadebridge and Padstow.

This stretch of coast has long attracted writers and poets too — Sir John Betjeman is closely linked with the area and is buried at St Enodoc Church, Charles Causley wrote from nearby Launceston, and Daphne du Maurier is tied to Bodmin Moor through Jamaica Inn. It’s the same combination of wild scenery, history, and atmosphere — ideal for switching off, walking it out, and coming back to the quiet of your hut.
