Cornwall - cliff climbing on the South West Coastal path





Today we visited a place I've not visited before, the Lizard, the most southernly point of the UK. We parked at the lighthouse (£3.50) and walked down to the cafĂ© and beach for a fabulous view. I'm going to miss the sea when we leave. Sailor started limping so he had his boot on for is first walk with his all terrain footwear.

We wanted to do the mile walk from the beach but as usual, we went a little off piste and missed the footpath so found ourself on the edge of the cliffs leaping down rocks and climbing up the other side of hills. We were on the South West coastal path and didn't know it. The view was amazing but it was the last straw for poor sailors foot but he soldiered on. Penny and I were the scout to find our way back and luckily we found a path to Lizard village where we had a pitstop. What else but another Cornish pasty.

A limpey walk back to the car for a well earned rest.
