I stayed in Cornwall for a few days earlier in the month with my girlfriend and a couple of mates. We did a walk from the village we were staying in (Polruan, near Fowey) to a stunning beach called Lantic Bay.

Some really steep sections, but not a very long walk. Some of the best coastal scenery in the UK for sure.

The start of the walk, perfect weather!


After about 20-25 minutes of very steep climbing, we caught a glimpse of Lantic bay. The closer we got, the bigger we realised it was. It is essentially a bay that is split in two, so you have a choice of two beaches. When the tide comes in, it is best to be on the right beach or you will be left stranded!

The view from the other direction. You have to skirt around the bay and back down some steps on the other side.

My attempt at a faded background shot. Turned out ok I think
