Hilary Stock JOURNEYS, 2022
I always remember my grandmother out walking in Cornwall. She would go up along the path to the Coastguards, all the way to church in the next village, or simply around the harbour to the shops. She didn’t own a car and thought nothing of embarking on some quite long journeys.
During our summer visits, we would set off, her and Mum idling along deep in discussion as we trailed behind, sharing found treasure and made up stories. That Cornish habit has stayed with me, and I would happily spend each and every day walking.
This year, I have put together a series of journeys around the Roseland, sharing the things that caught my eye, in the hope that they kindle others’ memories and feelings.
PENDOWER TO NARE HEAD
Pendower seems to be the perfect starting point for a journey to Nare Head. The triumph of avoiding a long drive around, and the endless expanse of beach ahead, make it a treat before you even start. At low tide, the light bounces off the wet sand, even on the darkest days. I love the contrast of this sense of space with Nare Head’s imposing presence. Because direct sunlight only reaches the cliffs later in the day, it is too easy not to be drawn in that direction, but there is something special about the clear blue waters and tiny coves that lure me along this unique stretch of coast path. And the joy is that the once foreboding headland becomes friendly and welcoming as you draw close.
