A slow beginning, with a lorry to creep round on to bridge, and then level crossing barriers coming down before we headed south and soon turning right on to a smaller track.
Building projects to be admired and a steep rocky lane with its mini ford and bridglet to slither down. A path off right chosen with splendid views of the grand Newham House and herds of sheep, cows and calves on our side of the valley.
Now came a stile into dark woodlands where all hell must have broken loose in January gales.
We went over/ under /around eight fallen giants not without some difficulty. Eventually we exited the nightmare assault course and through the boatyard to a coffee stop on the pontoon.
Next we went in to the ancient church of St Winnow Barton with its carved bench ends, "tricky" bells and 400 year-old stained glass windows.
On the road again we didn't get far, an amazing farm museum to tour, a farm stall and a closed-on-Tuesdays snack shack.
Time to speed up and again the level crossing barriers were down !
A swift hike up through the town to a nice lunch at the Royal Oak in Duke Street.
And we'd seen "Unseen Cornwall " on a surprisingly fine day !!
