Seven walkers reported for this lovely coastal walk as recorded in front of the " Physically Fabulous" van with us looking physically fabulous !!! (As usual !)
We headed west along the blackberry lined coast path towards Seaweed Lane and headed up this old track on to Marine Drive which was the access path to HMS Cambridge.
Very hot by now we paused to mop brows and admire the views from a fresh perspective towards misty Rame Head, Kingsand and Cawsand, as well as Fort Picklecombe and Mount Edgcumbe.
Onwards and due to heat thankfully downwards towards Heybrook Bay and along the coast to Renney Rocks and coffee stop.
A little stroll further to Andurn Point and Bovisand and a bit of a return loop with enviable views westwards before rejoining the coast path and a lower route to Wembury Point where the tide was filling the remains of the1920s Heybrook Bay Lido and on the shore beach combers were literally combing for ? seaglass ?
Down on to the shore line we walked via the old boat house and the jetty used once upon a time by pre war trippers to the Mewstone, past egrets and oystercatchers (80 other species spotted here..note to selves to bring binoculars next time ) and crunch crunch over rocky shelves, stones and sand past the low cliffs with periglacial history.
Hungry and still hot we rejoined the coast path and back to the unusually quiet tropical beach at Wembury (did someone say sewage ? ) Plenty of empty rocks for lunch perches and café open for good pasties, sandwiches, coffees etc.
The surf was up and swimming, paddling, and seaweed hunting passed a further pleasant half hour or more . And some had ice cream !!
Hoping to go back soon.
