S is for South West Coast Path: walking on the wild side in Cornwall

Over styles, across moors and spectacular views!

On the Coast Path.

An afternoon on the South West Coast Path was our first introduction the to beauty of the Cornish coastline, the moors and its fascinating mining history. We peeped at land's End, but quickly moved on, it has a tourist luckiness. 

Walking from Cape Cornwall we were treated to the remnants of the tin mining industry, chimneystacks, engine houses, old walled paths, mounds of waste rock from the mines, kerstels hovering, bees in the heather, thorny brambles along the stone walls....

I can see why this part of England has inspired writers and artists. The photos speak for themselves.
