About

Enjoy the geology along this sector of the glorious South West Coast Path. Sand and mud layers deposited in a giant tropical "Lake Bude" 300 million years ago were folded due to Britain and France colliding, forming a Cornish mountain range, before dinosaurs existed.

Private walks at other times can be arranged for 1-25...Read More
