It had been a little while since I had been in this area (here), over 18 months, which considering how much I enjoyed the last walk here is a bit remiss of me. Time to put that right and also pick another perfect day to walk the Roseland Peninsula. This area is definitely one of the highlights of the whole path so far, for me. Yes, the weather both times has helped, but it is a glorious area, stunning views, beaches, paths and some nice villages. This walk had it all, the blue seas, blue skies, stunning church, golden sands, butterflies and even a bit of war gun placements to top it off. Even then, there was more, we had a ‘bottling’ seal, a lighthouse and a little rabbit by the path. That will be the reason for the large amount of photos, alongside the distance walked which was almost 14 miles. Normally on a coastal walk that would be brutally difficult, but not here, the path undulates more gently, unlike other sections and the ground can be covered quite quickly. That said in the heat and with the views we took our time and enjoyed a perfect day out on the South West Coastal Path.
