Coastal Path and Polperro Pubs - Cornwall August 2017

Coastal Path and Polperro Pubs
Tuesday 15th August 2017
Probably my favourite day of the holiday. We decided to just leave the car in the car park (both Chie and I had been finding all the narrow country lanes and the hassle getting parked anywhere a bit stressful), and in the daytime walk along the coastal path to Talland Bay in back. There were lovely coastal views to be had along the route and even Erika managed to walk a fair bit (spurred on by the promise of ice cream). In the evening we left the grandparents to babysit, and several of us younger adults went for a bit of a pub crawl around Polperro.

10:32:01 Erika with her fishing net outside the house.	10:32:04	11:11:53 On the way down the little lane from Landaviddy Manor, I spotted this flower vase in a little alcove.	11:11:58

11:15:27 Nice weather today for a change!	11:20:16 The Old Mill House Inn, taken for later reference!	11:20:27	11:48:40 Tin Miners Pasty Shop. Despite being right on the main tourist trail into Polperro these were the best pasties we had all week.

11:57:18 Sitting on a bench in Polperro eating our pasties as an early lunch.	11:57:23 The cheese, tomato and basil pasty was pretty good I thought.	12:14:13 Chie and Erika by the harbour in Polperro.	12:14:16 More harbour views...

12:14:19	12:17:57	12:18:37 This little harbourside cottage looked cute.	12:20:03 At low tide you'd be able to get down to Polperro beach here.

12:23:26 Took pictures of the signs for boat trips for later reference, but ended up not getting round to it.	12:23:34	12:27:21 I liked the beams here.	12:28:03 ....and this oddly concave window.

12:32:11 More postcard shots.	12:34:23 Heading out of Polperro now towards the coastal path bound for Talland. I quite liked this little house.	12:35:11 Views back into Polperro as we climbed the hill leading out.	12:36:16 Chie and Erika on the edge of Polperro.

12:40:27	12:45:24 The coastal path leading out of Polperro.	12:53:07 Chie and Erika on the coastal path.	12:58:34 Lovely views along the coast from here on.

13:00:36	13:03:36	13:42:24 Heading down into Talland Bay here.	13:57:29 Erika rewarded for walking with her ice cream (actually mango sorbet) at the beach cafe at Talland Bay. This picture seems to have come out rather well.

13:57:37 Chie and Erika with their ice creams.	14:20:13 A bit more rockpool hunting in Talland Bay.	14:39:33	15:07:01 Only stayed at the beach for an hour and a bit, conscious of the fact we had to walk back again!

15:19:25 More lovely views on the way back along the coastal path between Talland Bay and Polperro.	15:35:04	15:39:03	15:43:07 I was fascinated by all these little gates alongside the coastal path, seemingly miles from anywhere - this one apparently a private garden.

15:43:12	15:45:52 Lovely shot of Chie and Erika in a tree covered section of the path, reminiscent of Totoro.	15:52:29 Back at the edge of Polperro, I took a picture of this sign as it looked like a nice place to stay.	16:13:42 Back in Polperro, we stopped off at the sweet shop, and I was intrigued by these "mega sour" sweets which may apparently cause stomach irritation.

17:57:24 The windy lanes of Polperro.	18:15:34 After dropping Erika off at the house to by babysat for the evening, Chie and I headed back into Polperro to go to the pub!	18:49:11 Here we are in the Three Pilchards, Chie with her scallops for dinner...	18:49:45 ...and my deep fried halloumi in batter with chips. Very nice.

19:23:26 The view from the beer garden at the Three Pilchards.	19:24:24	19:24:33	20:14:47 Martin and Lucy met us a bit later on, and here we are with them in the second pub of the evening, the Blue Peter.
