After a quick trip to the doctors, warmth and blue skies beckoned us to the seaside, so off we went on our local 73 bus to Talland Bay for a walk to Looe. The start was downhill from the bus stop through a tunnel of green and brown to the shore. When we arrived at the beach we saw that the cafe there, which we have never seen open before, was indeed doing business. After ordering our coffee and tea we decided to make use of their wonderful little beach huts. What a great idea of theirs and how sympathetic to the setting. A pleasant 10 minutes was spent admiring the view.That set us up nicely for the very steep climb up coronary hill…and luckily someone who had obviously enjoyed this walk in the past had dedicated a seat just before the top…From now on a walk along how the Coastal Path should be – with stunning views and scenery….and again some lovely turquoise colours in the sea…..maybe a result of the china clay residue which has filled this Bay for hundreds of years!You know when Polperro is just round the corner when you see that some people are using other means of transport than feet…..The beach was fairly busy, as was the town (half-term). But in truth it is not a particularly nice beach (sorry Polperro). We saw one house that had four substantial flying buttresses holding it up – a feature which you only normally see on cathedrals, and here was the so-called ‘house-on-props’.Really good there is a decent pub just by where you wait for the bus….And, as we had to change buses in Looe, we walked up to Looe beach which is very nice…On the way home I took some moving shots just to show how green is my valley….virtually the whole way home you go along the river and are surrounded by trees…..and you have races sometimes (in my head anyway) with the train on the adjoining line which stops at Sandplace station only a handful of times ….. approx 30 passengers per week. We’ve never seen anyone waiting here…..
