We drove down to Looe a different way to usual as the normal road we use was still closed after the landslip. From there we went on to Polperro and then followed the coast towards Polruan. These were very narrow lanes and not easy driving. We parked at the National Trust car park at Pencarrow Head and walked across the field to the South West Coast Path. We were following the walk in the NT website Polruan coast and creek walk http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/lantic-bay-and-lansallos/things-to-see-and-do/view-page/item933623/
When we reached the coast path there was a beautiful view of Lantic Bay and beach.
The walk along the coast path was steep up and down at times, but the views were worth the effort. There was gorse brightening the path and ocassional butterflies and birds flying around. There were even a few bluebells.

We walked down to Polruan and had our lunch sat on the quay, then started the Hall Walk up the Pont Creek. This was a fairly flat section of the walk and took us through woodland with the creek always below us. There were many bluebells in the woods and it will be a very pretty walk when these are fully out.
When we came to the end of the creek we had one more steep climb up the the church and then along the road back to the car. A very pleasant walk!
Rather than return on the narrow lanes to Polperro we drove to Boddinick and caught the car ferry across to Fowey and drove home that way - a much better route than the one we took this morning
