We only had the afternoon to walk, but the weather was too good to miss the opportunity to get out in the fresh air. With only a short amount of time we chose to walk near to Plymouth and drove to the far end of Whitsand Bay. We parked in the small car park near Wiggle and took the SW Coast Path westward. We were linking up with the walk we had done a couple of weeks ago around Rame Head.
The path gradually went down the cliffs and then up. Then it was down then up again and again. Not an easy walk although the paths were not too bad. At no time did we go all the way down to the beach but the climb up seemed long. The view was excellent, but did not change significantly as we walked along.
We eventually came up to the road by the Cliff Top View cafe and we were glad to stop there for a cup of tea. Although we had only done a small portion of the path around Whitsand Bay we decided to finish there. We walked back along the road rather than the up and down coastal path and it only took us 20 minutes to return to our car, whereas we had taken 40 minutes on the outward journey!
Not a walk that we would repeat.
