Porthcothan, Bedruthan Steps and Watergate Bay (via bus)
Bedruthan Steps this week (19th Apr 2017). The rock stacks are said to be the stepping stones for a giant named Bedruthan... but that was a story made up for Victorian tourists! The name actually comes from a set of cliff steps to Carnewas mine coming from Bedruthan Farm. The name Bedruthan comes from the Cornish for "Red Dwelling". One of the cliffs here is still known as "Red Cliff".
Trevone to Padstow
A circular walk to Padstow from Trevone beach, which tracks the route taken by sailing ships along the rugged Atlantic coast to the daymark at Stepper Point, past the infamous Doom Bar and the sandbanks of Hawker's, Harbour and St George's coves before finally reaching safe harbour in Padstow.
