Day 14: Downderry to Cremyll

My last day of walking along the Cornish south coast!  And a long one, in the rain and drizzle for most of it.  Set off at 8am to catch the light, first over the hill from Downderry to Portwrinkle, then with the rain starting to fall, around the firing range at Tregantle - with shots echoing around from the military range - and along the long sweep of Whitsand Bay towards the 600 year old ruined chapel perched on the top of Rame Head.

Carrying on from the headland, I turned the corner at Penlee Point, opening up views into Plymouth Sound and across through the murk to the Devon coast.  The twin villages of Cawsand and Kingsand were incredibly quiet compared to their summer versions, not a lot of life about although I think most of the villages are empty holiday homes, not ideal (what a hypocrite!).  From Kingsand, my route to Cremyll was through the Mount Edgcumbe estate, which was beautiful, full of autumn colour and an interesting contrast to the urban sprawl of Plymouth across the water.  I reached Cremyll and the ferry landing just before dusk, leaving the ferry for the start of Day 15... but with some 153 miles done along the Cornish south coast since departing Land's End!
