After breakfast we set out to walk the coast path to Boscastle. We were surprised to see that even more motorhomes had arrived during the evening - there were at least a dozen parked up!
We walked through Tintagel and across a field to the coast path. This section is quite strenuous as there are several deep valleys to cross. This usually involves a steep path or steps down followed by a climb up the other side. The route to Boscastle has over 300m of ups and downs.
One of the prettiest valleys is called Rocky Valley and has a fast flowing stream in the bottom. The stream has cut into the rock and descends to the beach via a series of waterfalls.
We stopped for lunch just before the white Lloyds signal station set high up on the Willapark headland. This building, which has uninterrupted views for miles, is now a National Coastwatch station
We dropped down into the well protected harbour at Boscastle and followed the river up through the village.
Taking the easier route back, we followed the road to Tintagel where after having walked over 8 miles we were glad to be back at Kiki.
We had our evening meal before settling down for the night.
