On the way down we stopped at Newquay. This was the first time we had ever visited there, even though it only takes an hour to get there from Plymouth. We stopped on the road just by the Western Beach and had our coffee on the cliff top watching people learn to surf. We then walked through this end of the town seeing what shops were there before our hour had run out and we had to move the car. We then drove on to the other end of the town and after parking near Towan Beach we walked along the coast past the harbour around the headland to Fistral Beach.
We then walked back and ate our lunch in the gardens overlooking the island.
We then moved on towards Hayle. We stopped again just past Portreath at North Cliffs and walked along the coast to Hells Mouth. This is a very easy part of the south west coast path, a good path and no steep slopes. Reskajeage Downs was covered in heather, but unfortunately most of it had finished flowering. It must have looked spectacular a week or two ago. However, the sea views were lovely.
