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.
PORTH TO PLACE
Walking along the woodland tunnel from Porth to Place, I love to glimpse my dream Cornwall through the lush canopy of trees. Cottages are perfectly poised on peninsulas and beautiful boats hide in the far reaches of the creek. The fertile pathway is fringed with cow parsley, and layers of lichen cover the stiles. The little ferry from St Mawes spills its passengers out, just as the creek opens up to Place. It’s a destination in itself, but greatly enhanced by the journey through the trees.
