An easy gentle walk in the woods which in hotter weather is cooler. Safe, slippery when wet in parts. Full of chirping birdlife. At the end there is a welcome silver tubed caravan serving coffees, cakes and quick meals. A welcome retreat.

Many roads in Cornwall and very thin and twisty, cycling infra-structure seems to be more rare in Cornwall, the roads tend to differ from many other regions. There is a higher degree of risk for road cyclists. Many times I watched wagons and vehicles go through narrow passes and no room for any potential cyclist exists. The photo was taken where an old path runs adjacent to the main road. Best to use any of these paths wherever they exist in this region

Amazing views.

Looe has been an important harbour since at least 1310 when a busy wine trade was established with Bordeaux. The harbour flourished again in the 1800s following the opening of the Looe Canal which served the mines and quarries in the area. Today Looe has a busy fishing fleet.

Great viewing point across Dartmoor
