Cornish Celtic Way Passport
The Cornish Celtic Way Passport is not only for collecting the ink stamps along the route, but also gives you access to budget accommodation in atmospheric churches, church halls with more facilities and some B&Bs too. Each walker will need to have a Cornish Celtic Way passport with them. The booking contact details for the accommodation providers is sent out to passport holders.
There are also youth hostels (YHA) at Eden, Treyarnon, Perranporth, Portreath and Penzance.
