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.
