My Actifit Report Card: July 19 2025

2 days ago

My last walk was along the stunning South West Coast Path in Cornwall. I set out from the picturesque village of Padstow, known for its charming harbor and seafood restaurants. The coastal scenery was absolutely breathtaking, with dramatic cliffs plunging into the Atlantic Ocean and the sound of waves crashing below.

As I walked, I took in the vibrant wildflowers that dotted the path, including yellow gorse and purple heather. The views were constantly changing, revealing hidden coves and sandy beaches. I made a stop at the iconic Bedruthan Steps, where you can see giant rock formations that legend says were once stepping stones for a giant.

Along the way, I met a lovely couple from London who were also hiking the trail. They were on a holiday to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. We talked about our favorite hikes and shared stories about our travels. They were particularly interested in the history of the area, and I enjoyed sharing some facts about the ancient ruins and the mining heritage that Cornwall is known for.

I also encountered a local artist sketching the landscape, capturing the rugged beauty of the coastline. She told me about her inspiration from the natural surroundings and how much the light changes throughout the day here.

The walk ended at the quaint beach of Mawgan Porth, where I savored some freshly made Cornish pasties from a nearby bakery. Sitting on the beach, I reflected on the beauty of the walk and the friendly people I met along the way. It was a fantastic day that reminded me of the rich history and natural beauty our country has to offer.
