I am in love with public footpaths. What a wonderful idea... and... why don't we have these??
I take a short cut to my bus stop everyday when I am walking to work. Public footpaths go through cities, behind people's house, and in scenic areas. The one I take starts in the middle of the street, cuts through some back yards and comes out right at the bus stop. These handy little guys are everywhere! I looked it up and there are over 140,000 miles of footpaths in England & Wales. I don't think I'll get a chance to see them all before we move back, but I'll take any I see.
In Cornwall, there is a public footpath that follows the entire coast. You can walk all the way around the region of Cornwall on the coastal trail. Nobody with a huge estate or a historical old little cabin can say that you can't walk through their property. Isn't that wonderful?
We went a few miles along the coast from town to town. The views were truly stunning. It is such a beautiful part of the country.
This was one of the moments when I felt like we were in a movie. Breathtaking.
