Polperro(ish) to Portwrinkle

We left our camping spot at dawn, and saw a wonderful sunrise as we walked the couple of miles along the cliff side to Polperro.  Polperro was a very small fishing town, with winding streets around the harbour.  We waited 10 minutes for a café to open and then tucked into a full Cornish.

From Polperro the path changes from following the cliff side to running through grassy fields. From here we took the road into Looe. 

Looe was quite busy, presumably because of the half term. We contemplated fording the river, but as it wasn’t mentioned in the guidebook or the internet we decided not to. Instead following the road down to the bridge, and then back along the other side. 

Out of Looe, we followed residential streets and through a holiday park to regain the path along the cliff top. A couple of miles lead us into Seaton, where we stopped for a bite of lunch.

After Seaton we followed the road, once again, through Downderry. It looked as if there was a possibility for using the beach at low tide, instead of the road, but as it was high tide we didn’t investigate further. 

Once off the road and onto the cliff top we made our way to our B&B in Portwrinkle. Our host for the evening graciously offered to cook an evening meal for us, which we gratefully accepted.
