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.
PORTSCATHO TO PERCUIL
Just behind the Shelter on the quay in Portscatho is the footpath sign to Percuil. It is a well-trodden route to “Arthur’s Field” from the village, and holds a special place in my heart from many happy camping holidays. The tunnel of green, the ancient steps up and the openness of the fields above, from where there are breathtaking views across the bay. Continue onwards through the gate into a tree-enclosed track and you find yourself heading for the creek beyond, which wriggles its way inland amidst fields and paths. There is an uplifting calm in the ebbs and flows of a tidal river, and the perfect bench on which to sit and ponder.
