Sunday 19th February Polruan

It's my birthday so just to make it special we went for a walk - but not on Dartmoor - the cornish coast near Polruan.  A white frost first thing, then lots of blue sky and a cool gentle breeze making perfect conditions for walking.

We parked in a national trust car park about 2 miles east of Polruan and followed the footpath...

...to the top of the cliffs (it's a long way down)

Down the steep path...

 ...and up again!

The view looking back

Gribbin Head in the distance and one of the Tuesday walker's springtime routes. I have been over there looking back over here

Down through the narrow streets (with Fowey on the other sideof the estuary)...

...to the harbour side.

 
Where the little ferry was crossing from Fowey

Time for my birthday lunch in the Lugger Inn - always a good sign when a pub is full with local people.

Don't think the ducks like the picture of the bird on the sign!









 
A different route back, up through the woods...

...with the estuary below and Fowey on the other side...

...before joining the lane leading back to the car park
