Saints' Way

The Saints' Way (Cornish: Forth an Syns) is a long-distance footpath in mid Cornwall in the United Kingdom that connects the coastal towns of Padstow and Fowey.

The Saints' Way follows a possible reconstructed route taken by early traders and Christian travellers making their way between Ireland and Mainland Europe. Rather than risk the difficult passage around Land's End, they could disembark from ships on the coast of Cornwall and progress over land to other coast ports such as Fowey on foot.
