Overview

This is a delightful but energetic walk starting with the lovely path down to the coast from Lansallos and then continuing on a beautiful stretch of coast with some decent hills to Polperro. We’ll have time for lunch and /or ice cream in the delightful former fishing village before following the Raphael Road on the road to return until we find the turn off to the coast path again.

I’ve put Strenuous because it’s  Coast Path slopes but all on good paths so moderate?
