Beyond Port Isaac is Port Quin and there are a number of small valleys to cross but are apparently not too difficult! A small path along the rugged coast leads to Port Quin which was formerly a fishing harbour but is now just a simple huddle of buildings.
I will be passing Pentire Point on my way to cross the River Camel. Pentire Point will give me great views over Padstow Bay and Padstow itself. I will catch the ferry across this section, making sure that it is running or I will end up making a huge detour inland to Wadebridge.
Padstow Harbour
Past the river I will enter Polzeath for a few refreshments before heading onwards to Padstow. Padstow is now mainly a tourist resort but still does have some fishing boats in its harbour. It can be very busy but the narrow streets are full or charm and character and will well be worth exploring!
Leaving Padstow I then will head towards Porthcothan and Mawgan Porth where I will be spending my first night running.
This section is supposedly an easier section and takes in two significant handlands, Stepper Point and Trevose Head. Trevone and Harlyn Bay are sandy beaches of note to stop for a while and take in the scenery. The scattered little village of Porthcothan awaits.
A few miles on from Porthcothan is Mawgan Porth, and rest.
