Portscatho to Falmouth
6 miles

Picture
Sometimes, ferries are part of the path. In this case, we ferry from Falmouth across to St Mawes, then a bus from St Mawes to Portscatho where we walk the path back to Falmouth. Depending on the time of day and bus schedules (and sometimes tide tables) it's often easier to bus out and hike back.

The coast path goes from Falmouth to St Mawes via a ferry.

After tea and a pastie, we take a bus to Portscatho, where we start the 6-mile walk back to St. Mawes.

Bob climbs the pole because, of course. Susanne reads the sign to find out what it's all about.

We end the walk at Place, and wait for the ferry to St Mawes. As the tide is still out, we have a bit of a wait.

The ferry only holds 12, so several people had to stay behind and wait for the boat to come back.

Too much cider and Susanne is giggling because she can't get her backpack on.

We explore St Mawes.
