CORNWALL offers so much to so many

WALKERS are spoilt for choice as much of the coast line is owned by the National Trust and is open to walkers following the SOUTH WEST COAST PATH right around the end of Cornwall and back. (www.southwestcoastpath.com). This is also great news for those who prefer PLEASANT STROLLS with amazing views out across the Atlantic .

Perranporth

For a little adventure try to find the LOST CHURCH and CHAPEL of Cornwall's patron saint St Piran (you know his flag as the cornish flag) on the sand dunes at PERRANPORTH, my favorite dog walk. Many local beaches are DOG FRIENDLY and there are several wood walks locally too. Whatever the weather or season the seas and coast provide fantastic scenery and wonderful beaches and coves to explore. Everyone knows about LANDS END but try out CAPE CORNWALL as well.
