Day Seven: Helford to Falmouth

Gentle drizzle as I left my B&B in Manaccan this morning, and took a lovely footpath down through the woods to Helford, to catch the little ferry across the river to Helford Passage. Things soon brightened up though, as I wandered along the Helford river past Durgan and back to the coast where beautiful views emerged northward across the water to St. Mawes and Pendennis Castle, guarding the entrance to the Carrick Roads and the Fal, and southwards back down the Lizard.

Unfortunately though my right shin was really complaining and after another 10 miles today, gentle as it was, I've decided to rest it for a bit. I'll be resuming the walk, from Falmouth/St. Mawes in the weeks ahead...
