Day 11 - Lizard Point to Coverack

We had to do a slightly shorter walk on the second day because we were going to meet up with friends that evening and the bus we needed to catch at the end of the walk only ran every two hours and we couldn't afford to miss it. Consequently we didn't pick up where we left off the day before but started with the bus ride to Lizard Town, England's most Southerly point.

We made a bit of a mistake at the start which meant we had to walk further than planned. We hit the coast a little to the West of Lizard Point.

We went around the most Southerly point and passed by the lighthouse.

We passed a rock feature on the coast called the Devil's Frying Pan, a collapsed cave with a natural bridge at the inlet entrance.



Making good progress now we reached Cadgwith, a typical Cornish Harbour. Time for a cup of tea.

Running a bit short of time we struck off inland and using a series of paths and roads we reached the end point of the walk at Coverack.

We caught the bus and arrived back at the B and B in time to meet up with Wendy and Peter Reid. Wendy was co-worker of Ruth's at the Wellcome Research Labs. We had seen her once since those days long ago and they had kindly invited us to dinner at their home in Mylor Bridge near Falmouth and not too far from Helston. We had a very pleasant evening with them.
