South Cornish coast yesterday, and north Cornwall coast today.

Both stunning, as ever, but we were particularly lucky with amazing weather for early April 🥰

What a cracking weekend we had at The Earlsdale.. thank you to all our amazingly lovely guests who stayed with us this Easter weekend.. it was a pleasure and a lovely way to start the 2026 season ❤️ #ilfracombe was buzzing this weekend ❤️ #theearlsdale #bedandbreakfast #northdevon #southwestcoastpath

Walk 2: Croyde and Saunton Down This walk was a bit of an unexpected one. I knew I’d be walking, but I didn’t realise it would turn out to be a 3.4 mile stomp across Saunton Down and the South West Coast Path. I had lunch with colleagues at the New Coast Kitchen (good food!) and then the plan was to just go for a short walk as a group.

A recent weekend walk in North Devon taking in country tracks, the coastal path and stunning views across the rugged Croyde Bay/Saunton coastline. #walking #devon #northdevon #southwestcoastpath #coastalgeography #blogging #writing

Upptäckte i dag att filmen "Saltstigen" kommer på bio i maj och blev lite glad. Trodde att den bara gick på filmkanaler som jag inte har tillgång till..

#freeartfriday on a Monday... well, in the sunshine, we couldn't resist the #southwestcoastpath lined with flowered up gorse; the perfect backdrop for our #mawganporth figures!

Same as before but slightly closer

Closer still

It baffles me when people say that humans are the best endurance animal ever.
If you think that just try taking my dog for a walk and tire him out.

The Rumps on the South West Coast Path isn’t just scenery. It’s a 2,000-year-old Iron Age cliff fort. Roundhouses once stood here, protected by ramparts and the sheer Atlantic cliffs.

Lunch break on the cliffs at The Rumps. Iggy keeping a paw on my boot to make sure I don’t wander off. 🐾 #Cornwall #SouthWestCoastPath

On the headland of The Rumps there is a Bronze Age burial mound, often called a barrow, The mound dates to roughly 2000–1500 BC.

The South West Coast Path is one of the most spectacular hiking routes in Europe, but the cliffs — especially around places like The Rumps — can be genuinely dangerous if you’re not paying attention.

Hiking the South West Coast Path out to The Rumps with our dog Iggy.
Sunny skies, windy cliff trails, and 2,000 years of history under our boots. 🥾🌊

Some pictures from last week's walking on the #southwestcoastpath in Devon (UK). We were blessed with glorious sunshine to take the edge off the bitter cold for three days before Goretti arrived. Ludo enjoyed the sunny days but battled through the wet last morning in his sou'wester.

Meant to post this last week but forgot! Here’s a little video I shot during our Christmas Eve #walk from #LandsEnd to #Sennen & back along the #SouthWestCoastPath … Looking forward to my Jan-Feb UK #tour! See sarahmcquaid.com/tour for info. #crashingwaves #Cornwall #surf

I just posted a new South West Coast Path vlog series on my YouTube channel! There are three videos by me and three by my friend Katie Green in the series: youtu.be/pN1T3dEcw_U?...

South West Coast Path challenge is 'magical' and 'mesmerising' Walkers tell highs of scenery and fellow ramblers and lows of losing teeth and risking dehydration.

In recent years, we’ve been walking sections of the spectacular #SouthWestCoastPath at weekends - and aim to mark it all off at some point. Definitely one of the best things about living in Plymouth. Sadly, no car since Sept has limited our access in recent months 🥲.
