2025-09-17 Daymer Bay to Polzeth

The next part of section 18 in the SWCPA handbook

1.5 km along the coast and 1.5km Inland.

The weather had been very wet and windy for a few days, but was hopefully getting better. So we had booked-in at the Tristram Campsite, right next to Polzeth beach. We had wanted to try out Frodo, our campervan as it had recently been to a new garage to try to sort out a mystery water leak.

So after an uneventful journey we at the campsite, and as there was a brief period when the fine rain stopped. We walked along the road to Trebetherick and then the short distance down to the car-park at Daymer Bay, which was managed by my Aunt in the 1060’s.

I can remember walking along the path that lead from the car-park to Polzeth. Then there were almost no houses to be seen, but now there are houses  well set back, so there is a wide stretch of grass to the right and a series of rocky beaches on the left.

It’s only a mile and a quarter back to Polzeth and the campsite has direct access to the coastal path, so after a brief walk around the village we retreated to the relative comfort of the van as the fine, but persistent rain had re-started.
