Harlyn Bay to Padstow round walk.

After a long day yesterday we were later getting up than planned, so we decided to walk fro the caravan at Harlyn Bay round the coast to Padstow  and then back across the top. The day was slightly foggy to start with, but it soon cleared and was really rather warm. I'm not complaining at all! Thoroughly pleasant. We stopped at the chough bakery in Padstow for a pasty and then at Roskilly's for the favourite gooseberry yoghurt ice cream. Returning back we walked through and visited the Parish Church in Padstow, before passing Prideaux Place. We missed the turn we had wanted and headed out towards Tregirls farm - passing a large herd of Fallow deer and a field with some gorgeous young pigs in it ...the dog was intrigued!  We took the way marked path to Crugmeer, crossing through harvested barley fields and cauliflower fields - a good walk totalling 13 miles ish.

Pigs!

..and the return walk: painted lady, cauliflower fields, fallow deer and scarlet pimpernel - the field weeds were really nice.
