My Actifit Report Card: January 30 2025

My last walk took place along the stunning South West Coast Path, specifically the stretch near Tintagel in Cornwall. This area is steeped in history and myth, especially associated with the Arthurian legends, which made my walk even more enchanting.

As I set off, the rugged cliffs dramatically met the roaring Atlantic Ocean, and the views were absolutely breathtaking. The path wound along the edge, with wildflowers blooming in the grassy patches, and I couldn't help but stop to appreciate the stunning scenery. The sound of waves crashing against the rocks below was a constant background symphony, punctuated by the calls of gulls soaring above.

One of the highlights of my walk was visiting Tintagel Castle itself. The ruins perched atop the cliffs are said to be the birthplace of King Arthur, and it's fascinating to think about the legends that have surrounded this site for centuries. I spent some time exploring the ruins and took in the incredible views from the castle. The history seeped into the very stones of the place was palpable, and I imagined what life must have been like in medieval times.

Along the way, I met a lovely couple from Somerset who were exploring the area as well. They shared their own stories of previous hikes and recommended other spots to visit, like Boscastle and its picturesque harbor. We chatted about the history of the area and exchanged tips on other walks; it was delightful to connect with fellow enthusiasts.

As I headed back, the sun began to set, casting a golden hue over the landscape, and I couldn't help but reflect on how lucky I am to explore such rich history and natural beauty right here in England. Walking is not just about the destination; it’s about the journey and the connections you make along the way!
