The recorded route from Helford to Falmouth

A bright morning at Helford Point - taken from outside the B&B.

Helford Passage, over the river by ferry from Helford - certainly a very attractive part of the world.

Out on the path again, on a beautiful day, approaching Glendurgan Gardens.

An ancient fishing boat rests at anchor in the still of the early morning.

A maze at the Glendurgan Gardens.

Round Rosemullion Head and the gardens of the Meuden Hotel come down to the beach at Bream Cove. The hotel is not visible, hidden behind the trees.

Another moored tanker stands offshore.

Alongside the coast path at Pennance Point is a simple metal seat in front of a granite memorial dedicated to the Falmouth Home Guard.

The inscription reads :-
"For Freedom. This seat and the path leading thereto have been provided as a memorial to the men of Number 1 (Falmouth) Company of the Home Guard who during 1940, 41, 42, 43, 44, after their day's work, nightly patrolled this coast area and, vigilant against German landings, thus they watched 1,000 dawns across these great waters which form our country's moat."

A persistent Spaniel puppy (see next photo).

There was much amusement on the beach when the Spaniel puppy went into the sea and tried enthusiastically to retrieve a mooring buoy which was anchored to the sea bed. The owners called and called, but the man eventually had to go into the water to get the dog.

The famous Cornish "liquid sunshine"?
Just as Falmouth town proper was reached the heavens opened and a torrential downpour of tropical proportions started, lasting for nearly an hour, flooding parts of the town.....

... and soaking this traveler to the skin. Thankfully the landlady of the B&B was an experienced walker and was sympathetic and helpful.
