Kelynack to Porthcurno – Beauty Beyond Belief

But before we go there, here are some of David Kilby’s shots from yesterday! Hooray! All of me! Hooray!

Today we started out early from our campsite, around 7.45am, walking down to the coast path and turning left towards Lands End. Good, dry weather, if a little chilly. Across the valley was a genuine and ancient stone circle.

How rich in history is this land.

We were aiming for Sennen Cove, five miles away, for breakfast. But the views were distracting and delightful.

By the time we got there the cafe was full and we would have had to wait a while, so we carried on to Lands End.

Then we looked around the tourist centre, hunting for breakfast, and had to settle for coffee and pasties. A great alternative to the full Cornish, as it turned out.

From Lands End we were heading down to Porthgwarra and on to Porthcurno, shifting round from the Celtic Sea to the English Channel. The views on the way were absolutely fabulous.

We were blessed with great, great weather and very few other walkers on the coast path. Around every corner was a fabulous view. Just about so beautiful that it was a coastline beyond belief.

We meandered down to Porthgwarra, at the start of the Channel, which is a tiny hamlet that Susie and Pete, Maggie’s sister and BiL, stay in each year. Fabulous spot,

Then we headed up the Channel, eastwards, towards Porthcurno. The path wasn’t too difficult, but it was a long walk, even without rucksacks. Finally we found St Levan’s Well. Thank Christ for that as we didn’t even know he was badly.

It’s all too beautiful. Thanks Steve.

Then we caught the bus from Porthcurno to St Just, had fish pie in the Commercial Inn and then walked back to the tents for an early night.

What a great day.

Night night.
