A very pleasant loop. Numerous well-maintained sunken paths, some of them lined with flowers, a short stretch of road, a chapel, several old wash houses, a ruined windmill, the site where the first transatlantic cable was laid at Deolen... A few steep sections along the coast.

Strangely, there were very few people on the trail.
We had a lovely day despite the weather not being particularly warm.
A picnic facing the sea – what more could you ask for?
Best regards
