We catch the 11 bus from Liskeard to Wadebridge. I don’t say much about our local town Liskeard but when you look around it is quite a handsome place with a lot of good quality buildings. You can see from the sky why we decided to go to the seaside…..
From Wadebridge we catch a cute little local bus to Polzeath (pronounced Polzerth). We decided as we were in no hurry to have a good look around the beach there, so we walked towards the headland and returned via the houses – magnificent views and very expensive.
Good surfing conditions and a few were out….
But it was time for our walk now, so we joined the South West Coast Path towards Rock.
looking back now and again and……
…..with the occasional stop for a drink (it was warm when you escaped the wind). Along the way there are many smaller beaches with easy ways down….
I do like ‘Private’ signs. they encourage a more radical me…one who wants all land (as in Scotland) to be free access.
Looking ahead this is Daymer beach…..
We walked through the magnificent dunes…
and of course what better at the end of a walk than a bit of light refreshment?
Rather than walk up a steep hill through the residential road of exclusive Rock we took the ferry across to Padstow. Talking to the ferryman, when he closes at 4pm now but 6pm I think in Summer, there is a water taxi service should you wish to dine at one side or the other of the estuary and get back.
I thought the wellington dog was good….
One of the trawlers in Padstow harbour seemed particularly colourful……
and all was still……..time for the bus home.
