More Blue Skies and Blue Seas
April keeps on giving — weather-wise, at least. Just like during the COVID-era financial crash, I’ve got sunburn while the stock markets tumble through tariff trauma.
There's probably no better way to forget your troubles than to set off on a lengthy coastal hike, with your boots sinking into fresh sand, watered from the retreating tide. Especially when you have saved £9 parking at Crantock by being a member of the National Trust.

The walking is as exceptional as we have come to expect during our week in this part of Cornwall. Spectacular coastal paths. Ups and Downs to the next cove, where the dogs insist on a play with the ball before moving on. Refreshment stops aplenty - this time, cream teas at Holywell Beach Cafe.

After enjoying the cream tea with jam applied first, we decide to head in-land. A sprawling camping/caravan site at Trevornick offers holiday makers the opportunity to both fish and play golf. Cubert Common delivering us back to Crantock.
Two pubs opposite each other but as a Baggies Fan, the Cornishman never going to get a look-in for a Baggie on tour.

| The Old Albion Inn |
Every bit as wonderful as it looks. Low ceilings, red chesterfields, many strange display cabinets suggesting a member of landlords family is moonlighting as a jewellery maker.
The Tribute, the best sampled on this holiday.
