Found on holiday in Cornwall, and a beautiful one for next time you're in the area. From Cawsand you go through Kingsand, along the shore and down the South West Coast Path past Fort Picklecombe to Mount Edgcumbe Country Park.

From the park there are stunning views across Plymouth Sound to Plymouth and Devon, from the Cornish side.
