NAMASTE, AND WELCOME TO
Playing In Nature
Foster a Love for Nature & Travel Blog
Playing In Nature is a passion project blog of mine. That is focused on inspiring other families to disconnect from their daily lives and foster a love for nature. My blog shares a variety of blog posts and guides to help your family get outdoors and plan your trips safely as well as some travel destinations in and around the UK.
I hope that through my tips and resources we all can inspire other families to foster a love for nature in themselves and their children too. Let’s start a generation trend of loving, caring for and respecting Mother Nature.
Where would you like to go?
Namaste, I'm Charmaine Howard
I'm the storyteller behind Playing In Nature. I am a wife, business owner, fur baby mother and an absolute fanatic about Nature and treating her respectfully. Through my blog, I hope to help families of all ages foster a deep love and respect for Mother Nature, and inspire families to spend more time outdoors or just connect to it as best as they can.
I absolutely love permaculture and holistic land management and what they stand for and do when implemented correctly and fully. My goal is to share my love of nature with you, give you tips, and guides and increase your nature knowledge.
I am currently based in the UK, living in a caravan with my husband and fur baby. We are traversing the whole of the UK, with Scotland, Ireland and hopefully the Isle of man as well. Such Fun!
Cape Cornwall – Gentle Clifftop Walks and Open Skies
At the far western edge of Cornwall lies Cape Cornwall, a place defined by space, light, and calm. Less visited than nearby Land’s End, Cape Cornwall offers couples a quieter, more reflective coastal experience.
Here, the cliffs roll gently rather than dramatically, creating walking routes that feel accessible and unhurried. The views stretch far across the Atlantic, and on clear days, the sense of openness is deeply restorative.
A Softer Side of the Coast
Cape Cornwall is ideal for couples who enjoy walking without intensity. The paths are wide, the gradients manageable, and the atmosphere peaceful. It’s a place to talk, pause, and enjoy being outdoors together without distraction.
The iconic chimney stack at the summit adds character and a sense of place, while benches along the route invite you to sit and take in the view.
Ideal for Slow Days
This is not a destination for ticking boxes. Cape Cornwall works best when you arrive without a plan — wander, stop, watch the sea, and let the landscape set the pace.
Practical Information
Location: Near St Just, West Cornwall
Walking difficulty: Easy to moderate
Best time: Spring and early autumn
Parking: National Trust car park nearby
Top Tips for Couples
Visit midweek for peace and quiet
Bring a warm layer — winds can be strong
Walk towards Priest’s Cove for variation
Stay for sunset
Take time to sit and enjoy the views
Conclusion
Cape Cornwall offers couples something increasingly rare: space without spectacle. Its gentle paths and open horizons make it ideal for unhurried walks and quiet conversation.

I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE YOU TO MY PODCAST
Chats with Charmaine
This podcast is a way for me to express myself, as my husband will tell you, I have many thoughts, ideas and I suppose beliefs about how life could be better for us all, now and in the long run. How we as a species need to become more conscious so that all life on Earth can live in harmony, supporting and nourishing each other in turn.
I am open to podcast, topics of discussion and thoughts or questions that have been hounding you.
I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE YOU TO MY CHANNEL
Playing In Nature
This channel is a way for me to visually express myself, as my husband will tell you, I have many thoughts, ideas and I suppose beliefs about how life could be better for us all, now and in the long run. How we as a species need to become more conscious so that all life on Earth can live in harmony, supporting and nourishing each other in turn.
I am open to video ideas, topics of discussion and thoughts or questions that have been hounding you.
If you’re like us, there’s a yearning inside of you to connect with nature. You’re tired of life in the hamster wheel and you want to reclaim a little freedom.
To explore either by yourself or with the whole family. No matter where or how far away from home you may go; it does not matter.
Opening your heart up to nature is all that matter
