Slipping and sliding from Mawnan Church to Helford River

Walk Length: 40mins

Muddy Rating: Winter = very muddy / Summer = not very

We do lots of walks on different sections of the Helford River, but the walk from Mawnan Church down to the river is the one we do most often. 

This walk is stunning, especially when the sun is shining.  However, it's been so wet lately that instead of walking to the river we slid our way down. 

 

 

 

Once down by the river there's lots of fun to be had.  The river is great for swimming and there's lots of seaweed to chew.  Dad skims stones and I chase after them. 

 

 

The walk back up to the church takes you through several fields of cows.  The cows have made the stream that runs through their field into a massive wallow.  For the mud lover this is heaven, but mum and dad have got wise to my plan and stopped me getting anywhere near the stream!
