No alternative to linear walking
Despite an extensive library of walking books, there's only a single route along this part of the South West Coast Path. That is a fully linear walk that runs from Newquay to Portcothan, where you catch the bus back.
There are no inland paths to make circular walks feasible.
We headed North yesterday, so it makes sense to head south towards Newquay. A mere 5 miles away, yet the return bus takes about an hour. We'll bail out at Watergate Beach, have a tea and sausage bap (tenner to tourists) and then retrace our steps. High cliffs around the inaccessible Beacon Cove. Geocaches placed just the wrong side of dangerous. Some sort of cross country race causing plenty of giving way on the narrow paths. The reward? Well Watergate Beach must surely be a contender for Britain's best. The views from the cafe bring a tear to your eye.
Here's the photos;
