Great walk and views from here. Start at Minions - the highest village in Cornwall.
Refreshments at the coffee shop in the village. (Sadly there was a fire in the Cheesewring Pub at Christmas so that’s out of action. )

Rame Head
This is joined to Cawsand and a lovely place to visit. Park in Cawsand and walk through to Kingsand as there is very limited parking on the Kingsand side.

Looe is a must visit place when coming to Cornwall. A fishing port which can be traced back to pre-medival times. It has an abundance of shops and restaurants and a beautiful sandy beach with boat hire.
For anyone wishing to do some fishing here is a good place to start either from the shore or by booking one of many of the chartered fishing boats.
For the children you can buy crabbing sets ( bucket, line and bait) from local shops and sit on the quayside chilling and catching crabs. Make sure to put them back carefully though afterwards.

This wood is within east walking distance of Tremar and can form part of a circular walk including the Crows Nest pub! It’s particularly pretty in the spring when the bluebells are out.

A couple of nice cafes and a more pricey restaurant up the hill at the hotel.
A good place to walk to along the coast path from either Looe or Polperro.

A torch would be very useful.
Tremar and the the local area, including Bodmin Moor, is a designated dark area, which means there are very few, if any street lights. Great for star gazing though.
