Muddy Rating: Summer-dry/Winter-moderate
I love Perranuthnoe and its surrounding walks. It has a great beach, with lots of smaller often deserted coves near by. There are great views of St Michaels Mount, it has a pub and a seaside cafe.
From the church at the top of the village you can head west along a foot path towards St Michaels Mount. Along the path there are several points of interest. There is usually a field with pigs to one side which is worth a sniff and there is a second field with chickens. I'm a lover of all animals so I often sit and watch as the pigs and chickens go about their daily business.
You can keep following the path towards St Michaels Mount and end up in Marazion, but we cut down another footpath and head back towards Perranuthnoe along side the sea. That way we pass the small rocky coves where I go and paddle all year round.
I had my first ever swim on one of the coves on this walk when I was only a few months old. I've been a lover of water ever since. I thought you might like to see me as a puppy after my first swim so have included an old photo!
Once back at Perranuthnoe you can go on to the beach (winter and summer evenings only). Todays run on the beach was rather a short one. The tide comes in quick at Perranuthnoe. One minute I was chasing a ball across the sand, and the next I was chest deep in water. Some nice people with a baby in a pushchair had to run to dry ground but the wave caught up with them and the pushchair got very wet. Lucky mum and dad had our little person in a carrier!
Here Dad and I are running to safety on the higher beach. But Mum got wet taking the photo!
