I've walked the entire SWCP and I never consider this section, although very good, when considering which bit is best. True it has Lynton, Lynmouth and Valley of Rocks and other good bits but it also has long wooded sections where you can't even see or hear the sea - surely a major failing for a coast walk. When did you walk the SWCP? Has your memory faded? What about Hartland Quay to Bude, Crackington Haven to Port Isaac, St Ives to Mousehole, a day either side of Salcombe, Durdle Door to Dancing Ledge and so many others which are so much more spectacular. Obviously it is all a matter of taste and that is why I would never make such a claim as 'the best'.
Thanks for taking me along this beautiful walk 🌿💙 I love how you describe walking as a moving meditation.
