Take footsteps into Autumn with me this week and explore the mellow days, drifting leaves and clifftop picnics for salty adventures near the sea.
Walking
Porthleven to Mousehole – exploring Mounts Bay
From the solid harbour of Porthleven to the picturesque fishing village of Mousehole, the communities along the flanks of Mounts Bay give a glimpse of the less commercialized face of West Cornwall.
Mousehole to Lamorna and places in between!
A day dawned when the delicious ripple of spring was in the air and teased us from our winter hibernation. We walked under exquisite skies with the scent of the wildflowers drifting around us and the sound of the sea in our ears.
Porthleven Harbour – shadows and pasties
Porthleven Harbour with dramatic shadows and tasty pasties feature large in our latest adventure! The atmospheric light and the sheer magnificence of the granite harbour in wintertime.
Winter picnic beside the healing sea
A walk beside the Cornish sea is a wonderful antidote to Christmas, after the days of calorific over indulgence in the rituals of the season. Well who can resist Christmas Pudding!
New Year’s Day dawned with clear blue skies and bright sunshine. It was a day lent from summertime in fact. A day that was far too tempting not to pack a picnic and choose a walk to a secluded cove.
Explore Gurnards Head
Explore Gurnards Head for a great walk with spectacular sea views. There’s an atmospheric Iron Age Fort, Chapel and Mine and the prospect of a posh lunch beside a roaring log fire in the pub of the same name
Autumn Vibes
Are autumn vibes in the air right now? The change in the season ushered in with the tumbling waves?
Now our days are filled with the regular rhythm of the sea along with a hint of sea salt in the air.
A walk through Kenidjack valley
Our walk through the steep sided Kenidjack valley followed a route that perfectly frames views to Cape Cornwall. We were accompanied on our journey to the sea by a gurgling stream and glimpses of historic tin mines
Rinsey to Wheal Trewavas – walking Mounts bay
Our last walk before lockdown was along was the cliffs of Mounts Bay near Rinsey on a perfect autumn day. There was such a treasure trove of sparkling seas, rugged cliffs and “poldarkesque” melancholy to explore along this spectacular route.
A journey to the Song of the Sea
A trio of walks lead to Nanjizal Beach and The Song of the Sea across spectacular cliff top scenery. This magical sea cave has a sheltered turquoise lagoon within sound of the Atlantic breakers of Land’s End
