About

THIS EVENT IS PART OF THE ENGLISH RIVIERA WALKING FESTIVAL

Starting from the picturesque village of Maidencombe, this 3 mile circular walk takes in the true splendour of the English Riviera, with spectacular panoramic coastal and woodland views.

Throughout the tour guests will hear the many stories and myths of this area recounted by Ziggy who has lived all his life in the village, which has a rich smuggling history and haunted heritage. The gruesome past will be blended with war tales and more recent shocking stories as you make your way around the rugged coastline.

The tour ends on Maidencombe beach where guests will have the privilege of joining the Out Of Tuna’s – a madcap group of locals, who sing shanties about smugglers, fishermen and fair maidens – group participation will be encouraged!

Be amazed when Ziggy recounts the time he discovered a size 16 foot print, which had been made in the mud by a 7’ tall Big Foot. This story became front page news across the world in 2024.

Listen to the mysteries of the unknown grave digger, the missing German pilot who crashed at Maidencombe during World War 2, giant octopus and UFO’s.

Sing-along with the Out of Tuna’s over a roaring fire as the sunsets over the English Riviera – this will be a truly memorable experience!
