North Cornwall Day 5 - Newquay to Portreath

Looking back to our ferryboat crossing across the Gannal River as we leave Pentire

Crantock Beach

Views back to Pentire Point

Time to do some beach walking - Head for the damp flat sand near the sea The lovely Perran Beach - The "Best Beach walk in Cornwall"

One last look back at Perran Sands

Approaching Perranporth

After our Pastie & Cornish Ice Cream stop in Perranporth, We press on along the coast path

St Agnes Head

Is it a bird ? Is it a plane ?

Remains of Cornwalls mining industry - abandoned engine houses and mine shafts dotted along the route

Approaching Porth Towan

Chapel Porth - It's extremely hot, time for a break and another ice cream

This was called 'The Iced Hedgehog' - and it was, to this day, the best ice cream We've ever had...

As amazing as it is, it's always harder to start walking again ... never mind, not too far to go to Portreath

Further to go than we realised ! and there were a few stings in the tail - This is a hard walk alright. Right down and up again !!

And another !!!!!! Need that beer soon - Fortunately Portreath is just round the corner
