Cornwall Hike 1: Polperro to Looe

We started our Easter vacation by taking a train part way then driving the rest of the way to Cornwall, which we discovered as a hiking paradise last year on a great trip with my parents.

We based ourselves in the upstairs apartment of this cute house.

overlooking the harbor in the town of Looe, pronounced like Lou.

We hopped the bus to Polperro, a nearby town shown here at low tide.

and hiked from there on the South West Coastal Path back to Looe over cliffs, past coves,

by islands, around neat rock formations,

and past adorable sheep. This was by far my favorite picture of the day. It was achieved by inadvertently standing at a point on the coastal path that intersected with the sheep path. I wondered why they were all looking at me with such focus. It looks like sheep three and four are conversing about what a pesky obstacle I am.
