West Pentire comes out as favourite walk

Parkdean holidays have produced an article on Cornwall's finest walks. As part of this they invited several authors of walks in Cornwall to share with them a favourite walk. Independently, two of us picked the same one - around West Pentire near Newquay. Due to those not intimately acquainted with the foibles of Cornish place-naming forgivably not realising that Porth Joke and Polly Joke were actually the same place, a little confusion resulted but has now been tidied up.

In the end it all worked out OK as the iwalkcornwall route is a little bit of longer to include Holywell and its Holy Well. So there’s now a long route and a short version to choose from!

Many thanks to Linda Sadler for her lovely photo of the wildflowers on West Pentire used in the article.

The wildflowers are at their best in June. Given the current weather, the footpaths will have had a chance to dry out by then!
