Two Cornwall dog walks have been included among the top 10 'hidden gems' around the UK.

The Lizard and Kynance Cove Circular and the St Anthony’s Head to Bohortha Short Circular featured in sixth and seventh place respectively.

Ruffwear conducted research to discover Britain's hidden gem dog walks by applying the ‘dog-friendly’, ‘hiking’ and ‘walking’, and ‘4.5 stars and over’ filter to AllTrails.

The data was then indexed by the rating and the number of reviews to find the highest-rated, lowest-reviewed dog walks across the UK. The hidden gem had to have at least 30 reviews to be considered.
