A short walk visiting two beaches and the village of
Crantock, a place of saints and sinners, with two holy
wells. It is believed that the ancient city of Langarrow
was buried in sand on account of its citizens' sinfulness.
Listen out for the unearthly howl of the Gannel crake!

An easy stroll down to Penpol Creek and along the
banks of the River Gannel, once a bustling
waterway. This is an area of myths and legends. You
are walking in the footsteps of ancient saints and
sinners.
