When I am not working in the salon
or the office, I love a good walk and October is a great time for putting those
walking boots to good use! With the weather having crisp sunny days it is great
chance to explore the coastal paths and other areas around Cornwall.
From St Ives you have a range of
choice. On a really low tide you can
walk all the way over to Carbis Bay on the beach and if you want to go further
– keep going to Lelant enjoying the miles and miles of empty sandy beaches. If
you’re feeling too tired for the stomp home just take the train. The branch
line to St Ives must be one of the most scenic train journeys in the country
snaking all the way along the coast.
When I‘m feeling particularly
energetic I also like to head out the other way towards Zennor. The coastal
path here is a bit like a climbing marathon but for a slightly easier option
you can head inland and take the coffin path, which leads across ancient fields
and settlements offering stunning views over towards the cliffs and seas. At
the end of the line drop into The Tinners Arms and enjoy a well deserved lunch.
Staying for a week or more – this is
a great time to skip over to the Scilly Isles for the day from Lands End
Airport. You can walk around St Marys in a day including lunch and a cream tea
at the end or take a boat trip to one of the islands and explore on foot.
The South Coast also offers some
interesting walks – The Fal River Walking Festival runs from 17th
October to the 2nd November or head up to Porthleven for the lovely
sunsets and surrounding walks. Local rumour has it that Rick Stein is opening a
restaurant here soon and there is already a great choice of pubs and
restaurants to choose from.
I love mainly walking with my dog
and with the beaches all dog friendly from the end of September, see, he is
even smiling!
Happy exploring!
