Discover the secret coves and sandy beaches that inspired the characters in Summer in February - the film that everyone's talking about this summer, by following in their footsteps along the South West Coast Path.

Starring Dan Stevens, Emily Browning, Dominic Cooper and Hattie Morahan, Summer in February is the true story of a tangled love triangle between land manager Gilbert Evans and the famous Newlyn artists Florence Carter-Wood and Sir Alfred Munnings, set against the timeless beauty of the rugged Cornish coastline on the eve of the First World War.

The book and film feature various locations on the West Cornwall coastline, from the picturesque fishing village of Lamorna, where Munnings once lived and courted Florence, to the beautiful Porthcurno beach that was used as one of the locations in the film.

Here's our pick of the best walks inspired by Summer in February:

Lamorna to Mousehole 5.3 miles - challenging

Gilbert and Florence enjoyed many walks along this stretch of coast and it is one such walk that inspired the film's title. It was taken from one of Gilbert's diary entries, in which he wrote about a walk on the coast on a summer's day, although the date it was recorded was in February.

Lamorna to Marazion 9.2 miles - challenging

A longer walk on the same stretch as before but taking in Mount's Bay and an optional visit to St Michael's Mount itself. The book includes references to the Aubyn family estate, whose descendents still live in a private quarter of the castle to this day.

Porthcurno and Penberth 3 miles - moderate

Porthcurno was one of the locations used in the filming of Summer in February. Combine a visit here with a tour of the gardens in the grounds of the Minack Theatre, or stay for the evening to take in a summer performance.

A Twirl of the Cape  4.8 miles - moderate

Cape Cornwall was one of the locations used in the filming of Summer in February to represent events that actually took place outside the Jory's Hotel in Lamorna Cove

Kenneggy and Praa Sands taking in Prussia Cove 4.7 miles - easy

Prussia Cove was one of the locations used in the filming of Summer in February and is also famed for its legendary Cornish smuggling hero, the King of Prussia.

There is a pre screening of the film in Penzance on 3rd and 4th June and the official UK launch is on 14th June.

Press trip opportunities are available for the pre screening and beyond, subject to availability and a secured commission.
