Thursday.
Russia invades Ukraine.
Covid restrictions ended! It hasn't gone but masks only have to be worn at your own discretion. We have to take into our own hands how to deal with the pandemic.
Walk down to the local market, still freezing wind. Janet and Terry here for lunch. 2nd walk into the village.
Completed 2 Miles. Total 84.8 Miles.
Carrying on the South West Coastal Path, we are now stood next to Droyden Castle - owned by the National Trust. " intriguing cliff-top fantasy fortress. It was owned by Samuel Symons, an infamous bon-viveur, in around 1830 as a place to entertain his friends. Now, it plays hosts to an eccentric one-bedroom holiday home full of quirks from its past. Inside you’ll find arched gothic windows, a cosy open fire and even the original wine bins in the cellar.
It’s set on a secluded headland of Port Quin where you’ll be encompassed by jewel coloured ocean views. Walk down the hill to Port Quin’s sheltered inlet where you go rock pooling, kayaking or fishing.
For longer walks you can loop onto the South West Coast Path, which runs just past the front door, and hike to the higgledy-piggledy lanes of Port Isaac. To the east, you’ll find surfing beach Polzeath and foodie hotspot, Padstow."
It is available to book to stay £1599 per week (for just 2 people), looking on their website, there is no availability even up to 2024!!
