We caught the 10 15 Cremyll ferry across to Mount Edgecombe and started our walk by turning right behind the pub, and walking around the headland. We found the walk delightful as we walked around the coast and came across some hidden coves and harbours. Walking across a road and up through a wood, we arrived at Maker Church. From here, the footpath took us to Kingsand where the sun was shining and the pub beckoned. After a slow half ( hic) we continued our walk towards Mount Edgecombe park, where a host of golden daffodiles swayed in the breeze. The walk was 8 miles long.
I've included a map to show the route. We picked a good day and the 8 miles didn't seem so long!

Ey by heck - 8 miles doesn't seem that far! It does to me but you are real top notch walkers now.
ReplyDeleteBob looks a proper seafaring dog. He could start a new career as a Viking figure head.
