October 8, 2023, Padstow strollin’

More suspicously high October temps... A stroll from Padstow along the coastal path, culminating with fish n chips before the ferry back over to Rock. 🐟 This was the walk I learnt what sugar beet is 🧐

The loop starts and ends at the Harlyn Bay car park and follows primarily the Coast Path. First you run towards Trevone and the Round Hole (opposite). Before you reach the place, the route turns in that direction and runs across or along various fields (in our case it was tall corn fields and beets). Then you come to lively Padstow. At the entrance to the village you will find the Prideaux Place house, which is a regular film set. In Padstow you will find everything you need for a break before you continue along the beautiful Camel Estuary and get to Stepper Point. There you will find the old stone tower and continue along the coast with great views towards Pentire Point and Trevose Head. Finally, at the mysterious Round Hole Crater, it's back to Harlyn Bay via Trevone Beach.

The starting point is the extremely crowded fishing village of Padstow. Crowds of people roam the streets here. After reaching the beach about a kilometer outside, the hike becomes quieter, almost lonely. A personal highlight: we came into the bay just before the tide set in and were able to walk across the beach, which was several hundred meters wide, on the one hand, and on the other we could watch how the whole thing was quickly swallowed up by the rising tide and transformed into a body of water.

First day of our Cornwall holiday. And it was a real hit. The best time of year: everything is green and blooming... simply magical here. And the cliffs are stunning!
