Small on the outside, but a very large pub on the inside, perfect for a break. As always, with Cornish cream tea.

Don’t go down here without waders

It’s not a bike track at all why they continue to direct bikes down here would be a mystery except that it’s indicative of the modern take over of our lives. Becoming reliant on and giving over trust to apps overrides , pun intended, common sense and I’m talking about me. I went down this track and despite it becoming a bog I carried on and in the end had to go through a gate saying no entry and out through a farm.

The Loe, also called Loe Pool, is a freshwater lake cared for by the National Trust. Loe actually means 'pool' in Cornish, so Loe Pool is really like saying pool pool! Recently a lot of hard work has gone into improving the declining water quality of the Loe, caused by nearby sewerage treatment works and agricultural run-off. Legend has it that this is where King Arthur threw his sword Excalibur, although it has never been found...

Water was up to the bottom bracket in the middle of May when doing the West Kernow Way. Just had to push the bike through it whilst trying to stay on the bank

An area to the east of Loe Pool has been cleared for the reintroduction of Riempjes, a plant belonging to the carnation family (Corrigiola litoralis), which was identified by Natural England in 2020 as being at high risk of extinction. The plant was first sighted on the beach near the tin mine at Helston in 1800. By 1908 it was becoming rarer and was last recorded here in 1915. Its loss was believed to have been caused by a lack of fluctuating water levels following work on the outflow from the lake. By the 20th century beltwort in the UK grew only in Slapton Ley in south Devon. Seed was raised at Paignton Zoo, Devon by the Whitley Wildlife Conservation Trust (WWCT), and in May 2015 over 1,000 seedlings were planted at the eastern end of Loe Pool. (Wikipedia)
