Paradise Found - Lantic Bay Cornwall - A circular walk from Fowey

'This is a splendidly varied walk, including panoramic views of the often busy scene at Fowey harbour; the peaceful, wood-enclosed waters of Pont Pill; a lovely old church set high above; and dramatic cliffs overlooking beautiful unspoilt beaches.' This is a quote from the author of our walk, Bob Acton who wrote many walking books covering Cornwall and its history.
Does this walk live up to the promise? Are the cliff top views dramatic? We certainly felt that this walk was one of the most challenging and rewarding walks along our Cornish coastline. Will you agree?

The standard description bit…
We are Sarah and Andrew and we film our walks around Cornwall and publish on KZfaq, usually weekly. Sometimes we stay in accommodation in Cornwall and upload our vlog. Sarah is fascinated by sea glass and likes to collect it so there may be the occasional sea glass video too. The channel is a hobby and we both have normal day jobs!
Frequently asked questions:
What camera do we use?
Since December 2018 we have used: Canon Powershot G7x MkII
How do I find the books you use?
Most are still in print although some we pick up in charity shops and may be available on Amazon secondhand. Please refer to the video for the book titles. Every video shows the book three times. Sorry but we can’t put a link in every description.
Best time of year to visit Cornwall?
We love May, June for flora and fauna, July and September for spectacular scenery.
What is your dog’s name?
Sorry but we do not release the name of our dog, perhaps you can make up your own name for him.

Now THAT was one wonderful workout! The ice-cream, sandwiched by ferry rides, made for the perfect respite. Loved the carved pews, and what views!

Well, we have just returned from 2 weeks in Polruan! How delightful it would have been to see you there! Have been going for 50 years because we love it so much. An old school friend had her first teaching job in Fowey back in the seventies. The landscape around Lantic is spectacular, our favourite bit of the coast. You can mix and match the walks and hikes, get a bus and walk back along the coast path, whatever you fancy. Our favourite is to walk from Polruan along the coast because the views of Lantic and Pencarrow are wonderful. Climb down to the beach and eat your pasties and feel like kings! Thank you for always making us laugh. Liz and Steve xx

Done the Hall Walk clockwise from Fowey a few times in the past, until a land slip a few years ago involved a very steep climb in Polruan, to old now at 80. Still visit Cornwall. Love your walks Sarah an Andrew, keep me going during the winter months.

Love this part of Cornwall and have been on this walk before , we also started at Fowey as we were staying there, also been down to Lantic bay beach several times in the past, it's a very steep path down to the beach in places and a very hard climb back up, a bit like that hill out of Talland bay in parts, take plenty of water if you do it.

I have done the hall walk anticlockwise, but never this one with the church and Lantic bay...looks amazing and definitely one for me to have a go at 👍. We've just returned from our holiday in St Just and visited Zennor Church, after you showed the Mermaid of Zennor's chair...so chuffed to have seen that 😁. We walked to the coast but didn't manage the circular that you did. Would have loved to find the ruined building with the painting of the ladies carrying their horse bridle 😔... maybe next time 🙏👌😘

Very entertaining video, Sarah and Andrew, and one of my favourite walks. I usually park in the small car park on the left just before you enter Polruan, in fact the one you passed through when you left the coast path. Polruan is an unbelievably pretty village, I prefer it to Fowey, though the amazing view of Fowey is part of its charm. Lantic Bay is stunning, and well worth the descent if you're feeling energetic! Lanteglos such a beautiful church. Bob Acton's books are always full of interesting history, pity they're a bit out of date so directions hard to follow sometimes. Many thanks.

The Church where Daphne du Maurier was married was amazing, I see your Ferry has arrived so I will take my leave, no more Ferry jokes Andrew, I’m taking a trip to my fridge now for my overdue ice cream 🍨 and your sweet faithful friend will be ready for a nice cool bowl of water 💦 on arriving home, you do fall lucky 🍀 for some splendid weather on your travels, thanks 🙏 for taking us with you, take care both of you until next time 🤗👋

Looked like a very long walk...will see why you only gave it a 6 out of 10 when I watch it with words on the I pad! Feeling very down at mo as it's looking extremely unlikely we will once again be unable to travel to Cornwall....this time because of fuel shortages. Have been unable to get petrol for over a week here. So shaping up for another year of cancellations, unless the shortages sort themselves out. So frustrating & disappointing I can't tell you. Seems I'm destined not to return to my favourite place as something always happens it seems, out of our control, to put a stop to our plans.....thank goodness I still have your vids to watch anyway...xJ x
