One of the best things about Cornwall is the stunning coastal walks.
When I lived near Porthtowan, I used to regularly do the walk up to East Cliffs and across to Chapel Porth (also known as the Wheal Coates walk). It really is an absolutely stunning landscape up there, and there’s no better way to make the hike even more magical than with some great songs to listen to on the way.
Here are my favourite ‘cliff walking’ songs:
1. ‘We Don’t Eat’ by James Vincent McMorrow

2. ‘Resolution’ by Matt Corby

I had to include at least one Coldplay song. In actual fact I would probably listen to several Coldplay albums during one walk. Sorry not sorry.
What songs do you like to listen to on your walks?
You have included some of my all time favourite songs in this list! :) To build a home is one of the reasons why my blog is called wooden window sills!! What a bloomin’ great playlist – now get me to a cliff so I can listen to them all! Alice xx

Awwh that’s so cool! So glad you liked the list hehe :)
I miss walking to music, I used to do it all the time, but rarely do it now due to trying too hard to keep the puppy under control. The music stops being magical when you have to interrupt every 10 seconds with, ‘PEPPER GET BACK HERE!’ or ‘PEPPER DON’T EAT THAT!’ hahaha x
