The Discovery Trail map is a free map available at a variety of outlets across Newquay. It promotes sustainable living and green tourism while at the same time providing a valuable resource on local history and the natural world for budding explorers on foot or bicycle.

Follow the Hetty or the Ada Trails and discover the discs dotted around the town that together with this map, unlock the secrets of Newquay's fascinating history. The coastal footpath is a perfect way to enjoy the scenery and wildlife of this breathtaking and diverse coastline. It enables you to go at your own pace stopping off for refreshments, a swim or just to savour the view. The town footpaths are ideal for those wishing to explore Newquay's history and architecture.

Learn more about Newquay's pilchard industry, the Headland riots or the Bronze Age remains on the Barrowfields. Take in views that encompass the Gannel estuary, Fistral Beach, Pentire Headland, Towan Head and the north Cornwall coast.
