Penally and Lydstep

This was another fabulous walk in fabulous weather. We have been so lucky recently and only had a few nights of much needed rain to turn everything green and lush.
~
After parking at Penally station we took off to Penally village and walked along the ridgeway behind it, all the time accompanied by some wonderful coastal views.
~
Past some derelict farm buildings and the yard where the ghosts of cattle still seemed to linger.
~
The maize was just beginning to show itself.
Presumably not being bothered too much by the lack of rain.
~
Don't know the name of this gorgeous wild plant, can anyone tell me please?
~
After walking inland and past Trefloyne Golf club we went seaward again towards Lydstep and the bay.
~
Spectacular views from the Coast Path.
~
The rugged scenery. I always wish I knew more geology, as the landscape is so interesting.
~
As we returned along the path we had this dramatic view of Caldey Island, with its beach just showing palely towards the horizon. We are planning a trip across to Caldey soon and I am looking forward to that as although we live in the area we have never been there.
~
Lots of gorgeous places to visit for anyone coming here on holiday.
