Description
iWalk Cornwall is a digital walking guide providing circular walks with detailed directions and local information based on over a decade of fieldwork and research.
Both the app and walks are designed and developed in Cornwall and have a big local following. Routes are continually being checked and updated with help from the local community. iWalk Cornwall was Highly Commended in the 2017-2018 Cornwall Tourism Awards and a finalist in the 2017 Cornwall Sustainability Awards.
The app is free to download. Walks are purchased from within the app which includes ongoing free updates. The "Lanhydrock Gardens" walk is included with the app for free so you can try it out, and there is a simulation mode so you can do so without driving there.
Over 250 walks are available in all areas of Cornwall, classified by steepness and length and themes such as coastal walks and pub walks. New walks are also continually being added.
Features:
- Tracks your location using the GPS receiver on your device, providing real-time information as you follow the walk route.
- Directions are triggered by your location, with a beep/vibrate notification when there’s a new direction for you to follow.
- Based on your location, provides information about points of interest along the walk.
- Includes an accurate map of the walk route and surrounding area, showing where you are on it and which way you are facing.
- Warns you if you wander off the walk route, intelligently based on local knowledge (i.e. not with a blind "computer says no" where there is something legitimate to go and see)
- Tells you how far you have left to go and an estimate of time remaining based on your personal walking speed
- Keeps an eye on your battery and if it doesn't look like it will last the walk, offers a number of power-saving strategies
- Once walks are downloaded, the app doesn’t need a mobile signal or internet connection.
- Walks are continually being checked and updated - updates are downloaded for free
The app also includes a mechanism to feed back any footpath issues that you spot to help us work with the Local Authority Countryside Team and parish councils to maintain Cornwall's footpath network.
Note: Users of Wifi-Only (non-cellular/3G) iPads will need an external GPS device to navigate using this app
Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Ratings and Reviews
Invaluable to walkers
This is a fantastic app. I’ve been shown paths, lanes, places I would never have found on my own. We are Cornwall residents and use this app every time we go out. Sure, the council has the maps on their website, but try putting together a cohesive circular walk half as enjoyable as any of these and you’ll have invested an hour or more before you get out the door. To say nothing of the historic and geographic information—educational for the whole family. For 3 quid you have a guide in your pocket. I could go on. I hope to someday meet the producers so I can shake their hands and thank them personally.
Amazing and easy to use
We found ourselves in areas of outstanding beauty using this app. The planning of hikes was brilliant. So many options - we liked being able to plan circular hikes of moderate length and there were many to choose from!
Navigating once on a hike was very ease. I would have been lost on many occasions otherwise .
Brilliant - highly recommended
I’m useless at following maps for walks, and usually end up with wimping our part way through the walk for fear of getting lost - this app has totally changed my walks! Great choice, super clear instructions and we totally know what to expect it terms of dog friendly/ terrain etc.
Love it! Great work guys
