Along the craggy Cornish shoreline the legendary South West Coast Path squiggles, rising and plunging in an endless, photogenic procession of limpid blue inlets, golden beaches and sleepy fishing villages. Cornish walking is defined by this spectacular surf-fringed route, which has sections suited to both casual strollers and serious trekkers.
Well trodden and well marked, most of the path is straightforward to tackle – even if you’ve never clapped eyes on an ordnance map. But that’s not to say you should underestimate it. Hikes may set off from a fashionable town with London-smart restaurants and galleries, but before long you’ll be skirting gorse-carpeted cliffs or scrambling up steep, rocky inclines. (In other words, wear solid shoes.)

The local elections on May 6 will see scores of polling stations open for the day for those wanting to cast their votes – if they haven’t already by post. And while many of those polling stations will be based in traditional locations such as village halls, council offices and schools there are a few which are quite different. Arguably the most unique has to be Caerhays Castle, which is where people living close by will get to choose who should represent St Goran, Tregony and The Roseland on Cornwall Council.
