South Cornwall Day 10 - Kingsand to Plymouth

Tuesday 11th July 2017

Walking Diary (All Walks) Long Distance Walks South Cornwall - SWCP 2017

The final seven miles from Kingsand to Plymouth was as gentle a day as you could imagine - However, we were given a pretty good soaking as the walk which had been more or less wall to wall sunshine ended up with a storm. Torrential rain awaited as we tried to take our celebration photos on Plymouth Hoe and the Mayflower steps

Another cracking Long Distance Walk comes to an end - Now for the long journey home.

Setting off from our B&B in Kingsand - The weather wasn't looking too clever so we had better wrap up.

Mount Edgecumbe Park

The Cremyll ferry crossing to Plymouth

The place where the first Europeans (The Pilgrim Fathers) set sail from Plymouth to America in 1620 - and where we end our South Cornwall Coastal walk. The Pilgrim Fathers set off on the boat 'The Mayflower' - Hence these are known as the 'Mayflower Steps'. We didn't hang about for long here as the rain was so heavy - would have liked to have a photo with us both in, but there was no one else was around to take it ! I hope the Pilgrim Fathers had better weather when they set off back in 1620 !
