Perranporth to Holywell Beach

We started from the caravan at Perran Sands.  We tried to follow the South West Coast Path but there were lots of paths through the dunes and it was not clear which one we should take.  The one we followed eventually took us down to the beach, and as walking on the dunes had not been easy we decided to continue along the beach to the end.  We then climbed up a marked path the the South West Coast path.  The view back along the beach was lovely.

It was a relatively easy walk along the cliffs to Holywell Beach, with lovely views all the way.  We had hoped for a cafe at Holywell, but there was nowhere special, so we just had an icecream from a van on the beach, before climbing up to the cliff to walk back.  When we came to the path that led down to the beach we chose to go down there rather than try to find the south west coast path.  We walked all the way back to Perranporth along the beach, paddling in the sea.  After stopping for tea and cake in a cafe in the village we walked back to the caravan via the dunes.

In total we had walked 10 miles.
