This old maid will be starting up soon for the summer season. The ferry to Cawsand from Plymouth is a great way to see and explore Cawsand, Kingsand and the Rame Peninsula in SE Cornwall.

A refreshing moment on the beach overlooking Godrevy Lighthouse on the north Cornish coast. This was from a February walk from Hayle to Portreath.

It would be lovely to see the sun setting from a Cornish beach once more. This was the view from Freathy Beach on Whitsand Bay in SE Cornwall from a couple of years ago.

Looking back to Charlestown Harbour on the south Cornish coast. This was part of a walk from Fowey to St Austell along the SW Coast Path.

On the wild and windy north Cornish coast is Crackington Haven. It's a dramatic beach flanked by rocks and a high cliff to one side. It has a shingle / sandy beach (more sandy as the tide goes out)

Not a bad place for a coffee. Crantock Beach on the north Cornish coast is a spectacular golden-sandy stretch with high dunes up to the land and often fantastic waves for surfers off the shore.

Beautiful Clovelly on the north Devon coast. It's a privately owned village that charges visitors for entry, but it's well worth the visit.

Circular Walk - St Agnes Headland - Paul Michael's Walking & Visitor Guides Plan your walk on the beautiful St Agnes Headland. This guide details routes past the iconic Wheal Coates mine, offering stunning coastal photography opportunities on the South West Coast Path.

This is another of my guided walks. It's a circular hike around St Agnes Head on the north Cornish coast.

Aside from the magnificent Wheal Coates engine house remains shown in the picture, the scenery along this coastline and inland is stunning.

Take a circular walk on Cornwall's rugged north coast around Trebarwith Strand and Tintagel. The breathtaking scenes include coastal and inland walkways coupled with ancient myth and legend.

Out and about at Plymouth's seafront this afternoon. We had SUNSHINE!

This rocky shore is Firestone Bay. There is a tunnel along the wall on the left that leads to Royal William Yard, and further, a small tidal paddling pool.

Forder Creek at high tide. The boats are fairly laiden in the water - likely because they are filling up with rain water.

Out and about around Saltash on a rather drenched day in Cornwall. We have had so much rain, and I wonder if Cornwall is about to float off to somewhere sunnier :)

A walk around Trelissick Gardens after Storm Goretti. The clear-up operations had done the gardens proud. But there has been a huge loss of trees here, and all over West Cornwall. Things could get bad again today with yet another storm giving us some aggro.

Beautiful Mousehole in West Cornwall. I've spent quite a bit of time in this lovely, unspoilt but much-adored village. It is the place to visit for that slice of traditional Cornwall.
