Cadgwith Cove

The seafood in Cornwall has been outstanding. This small fishing cove pulls some nice-sized crab and lobster along with many types of flat fish like sole. Our inn for the night is across from the boats. They served a lobster "thermidor" and crab chowder in the pub.

The Lizard, most southerly point

The trail continues its relentless hugging of the coastline, up and down cliffs, and across heads with heather and gorse cover. The serpentine rock is a geological standout producing finely polished colored stone used in royal palaces and mansions in London. Below the lighthouse stands prominently at Lizard Point.

Lamorna Wink

The walking on this section is proving long and arduous (think roller coaster flanked by high hedges). Like they say in Cornwall, don't ask "how far"; ask "how long". The saving grace is a pub like this, bringing out the inner pirate on this old smuggler's route when sustenance is most needed.

Land's End

We started our week along the South West Coastal Path at Lands End, England's western-most point. The sunny weather is not expected to hold for long.
