Newquay Day 7 - Hiking North

Peter wanted to do more biking today, but they don’t make it easy here. After lots of googling & phone calls he finally gave up.

Plan B then was to walk as far north as we could. Turns out that was a “brilliant” decision - am I sounding British 🤪. The walk from our place to Watergate Bay is spectacular - all along the ocean. Again the pics say more than I ever could.

We’re so impressed with the countryside here - beautiful trails along the ocean, miles of sandy beaches - I’ve lost count - and lots of open green spaces. Love that they have benches everywhere overlooking the ocean - if only I could sit quietly and meditate. 🤔

Our other observation is the dogs - they’re everywhere. At the Beach Hut Restaurant where we stopped for lunch, we were surrounded by them - but they were well behaved.

So sadly our week here in Newquay has come to an end. Must say I’m quite charmed by this place - aside from Main Street that’s a bit tacky, the surrounding areas are beautiful and especially good for hikers, beach lovers and families with kids. Wish we’d brought our bathing suits.

Tomorrow we head to Lodsworth to visit good British friends, Jill & Peter. Curious to find out more about England from their perspectives.Читать далее
