Following on from my previous post. After visiting Polkerris we decided to walk west along the coastal path.
The only snag in doing this is that it's all uphill from Polkerris to reach the path. There's a short flight of wooden steps, as below, and then the rest of the way to the top is via uneven stone steps. (I counted 124)
Anyway, once up the top it's quite pleasant with the sea and distant views.
The path is mostly easy walking, but some of the farmer's fields have barbed wire to keep walkers out.
Saw this boat making waves and showing off by making patterns in the sea. It looked fun.
A view looking back (east) along the coastal path.
And the path ahead.
Had a quick look at Booley beach. As usual not many people about.
A few sheep in the farmer's fields, some had been shorn.
We watched the sheep dog rounding up the sheep into a tight group.
I love border collies, we had one for years, he was such a wonderful dog. If out walking with the family or friends, and a few were lingering behind, Toby would try to round them up - pure instinct.
In places, along the coastal path there are some quite steep drops, so have to show a certain amount of respect.
Shallow water near Par, where the tide goes out a long way. Fun for children though - and dogs!
And finally I was lucky enough to snap these two swallows sitting on the barbed wire fence. They seemed quite happy to have their photo taken. Made a nice end to our walk.
