So after what seems like months, it was time to head home and say goodbye to Crantock Beach.

The location couldn’t be better – it was great to be able to walk down to the beach – I’ll definitely be making a return visit.

Last day, and guess what – it’s sunny again!
I have tried to limit the amount of driving I do this holiday and this day is no exception – just a short trip along the coast to Trevaunance Cove.

Even though it was still early the sun was a little hot to be climbing up the steep cliff paths – I managed though.

OK – this can’t be England – yet another sunny day!
Started off in Padstow with breakfast at Rick Stein’s Cafe where you are always guaranteed an excellent Kipper. Next a walk along the coastal path to Hawker’s Cove – it was one of the lowest tides of the year so most of the walk was along the beach.

Next I took the boat trip around Newland – I’ve taken it before but this was the first time I had to catch the boat from the north beach,

Boring, I know, but it was another gloriously sunny day, today.
With good weather, I don’t want to waste any more time than necessary driving so I headed for nearby Carnewas for Bedruthan Steps.
With tide right out it was the ideal time to walk along the beach at Carnewas and see each of the steps.

A return trip to the Eden Project to start the day.

This was my 5th visit and there is always something new to see – this time, these bunny heads!

The weather fooled me today – I thought the sun would win and the clouds would go so I planned an afternoon at the beach.

So I ended up at Perranporth – first a wander around the town then a walk along the huge beach. Then I headed back to Crantock for a wander into the village – only then did the sun manage to poke through the clouds.

Took a trip into Newquay to replace the camera that gave up on me during my accent of the Coniston Old Man. I hadn’t planned to visit the town during my stay as whilst the beaches are great, it is a little too commercialised for my liking.

It wasn’t half as bad as I remembered it – I don’t know if the town’s had a face lift or it was just because it was a gloriously sunny day – but it was actually quite pleasant walking through the town. Like many towns it bears the massive scar of the abandoned Woolworth store.
