Loe Bar
The Loe is the largest natural fresh water lake in England and rumoured to be the lake that the sword of Excalibur was thrown into by Bedivere, if you're interested in that sort of thing.
It was very misty when we got to Gunwalloe Church Cove which was a shame because this is a beautiful area.
The picturesque church is close to the beach and could easily be overlooked as it is surrounded by dunes and trees.
The church is used as a location for the filming of Poldark but I was looking the other way, to the golf course (Mullion) that is the most southerly course in Britain.
Watched a four ball teeing off but the conditions were so poor that I, nor they, had any idea where the balls landed.
Had a quick lunch stop at Poldhu beach cafe before climbing up the cliff to the monument that marks the spot where the first wireless signal was sent to Newfoundland by Marconi.
Dropped down to Mullion Cove.
This lovely little harbour is owned by the National Trust but the harbour walls suffers from so much damage from the regular, severe storms, coupled with rising sea water levels that the Trust are considering the position regarding the regular and expensive repairs and, possibly leaving the harbour to the ravages of the weather.
After an hour or so of level walking we arrived at Kynance Cove, one of the most scenic places in Cornwall but today we could barely see as far as the famous Lion Rock.
So we had a quick cuppa at the café and made our way to find our accommodation in Lizard.
