Wales Coast Path, New Quay

| September 23, 2019

1 mile; New Quay, Wales, UK We had a lot of trouble even finding the Coast Path here, and gave up and just did a short stroll around town. Lots of lovely front doors in this town! There were still a lot of boats out on the beach? strand? Whatever you call it. The British […]

Wales Coast Path, St. Dinas Head

3.2 miles; Newport, Wales, UK The weather sort of turned on us today with light showers. Which gave rise to a lovely rainbow on St. Dinas Head, which is the dividing point between the Celtic Sea and the Irish Sea. Lovely day and a lovely hike. Followed by a fantastic lunch at a cool little […]

5.9 miles; Tenby, Wales, UK Another day another town, and a lovely seaside resort it was! I got off by myself today and put in a nice 6 miles on a Coast Path loop. Would have gone further, but the path was closed due to live fire exercises on the military base that it crosses. […]

Well, maybe Cornwall was as spectacular, but certainly not better. This is Rhossili Beach. What a lovely stretch of empty, beautiful sand! I can imagine that […]

Hiking in Cornwall, UK—Day 3

5.4 miles; Cornwall, UK Today’s third and final hike was from Boscastle to Tintagel. And for those members of my readership who are familiar with the Arthurian Legend, you can understand my excitement. It was ultimately kind of disappointing, as most things eagerly anticipated are in life. But I hiked there, so I’m feeling pretty […]

Hiking in Cornwall, UK—Day 2

2.3 miles; Cornwall, UK Well, as could probably have been predicted, I was a physical wreck by the 2nd morning. We had a planned 7-mile hike, but I was only capable of doing a bit over 2 1/4 miles of it. Like I said, just not used to this kind of hiking. Thankfully at one […]
