TWW 23rd April 2019


Very, very hard to choose - just what was the star of the show?
The bluebells were absolutely blooming and in places competing for swathes of colour with the violets. Tiny pansies peeped out alongside the wonderful scarlet pimpernels and forget-me-nots. The ransoms were in full roar with the vetches coming along 'ansomly. Of course the early purple orchids just demanded attention and the thrift billowed on the cliff edge. So, so much to see especially if your guide knows all the secret paths through the woods.
All the way, way out by Fowey on a warm morning to take the track down to St. Catherine's Point. The coastal footpath guided us round to Polridmouth - a superb spot for a nice cuppa by the egrets, swans and heron. Round and up by the amazing woods to catch Gribbin Tower standing sentinel as the cardinal buoy gonged away. Onward by some wonderful meadows all the way to Polkerris where children were playing on the sands and we stopped for our picnic lunch. Ice cream called before the old, old trackway up and on to the Saints' Way to take us back.
'Tis a fair old way out by Fowey but a fantastic place for a spring flower walk.

You really do have to be there ...
