Day 12 - Mullion Cove to Lizard Point

Today we filled in partially between the walks on the first two days. Technically it should have been Porthleven to Lizard Point but we felt that was going to be a shade too far for our poor old legs so we took the bus to a point in between - Mullion Cove. This was another typical Cornish harbour, small with the usual rocky breakwater.

We walked back into Lizard Town along the path we took out to the coast the day before passing the wooden horse. Time for an ice-cream made with Cornish cream. The bus arrived to time and we went back to Helston via Mullion Cove which we had passed through three times now. We collected our cases from the B and B, returned the key which we had forgotten to hand in that morning to the clear displeasure of the B and B lady and took the bus back into Penzance to find our second B and B very near the bus and railway station. A very nice couple ran the place and we had a nice room and they provided excellent breakfasts that set us up for the day ahead.
