Mylor Bridge, Restronguet Passage

This is a circular walk between two public houses, each offering its own historical charm. Leaving the small village of Mylor Bridge and walking out to Weir Point before following the estuary up to Restronguet Passage, where there is the Pandora Inn, a 13th-century thatched public house, a convenient place to stop, and enjoy the surroundings, before heading inland and the Lemon Inn.

This circular walk sounds like a pub crawl, but it is a really nice walk, with many interesting finds.
