Pilchards And The Port
Portscatho is ancient Cornish tongue for “cove of boats”. The fishing community of Portscatho has prospered for generations, on the rich harvest of pilchards, mackerel and lobsters, of its fertile river. Theres a small slipway leading up to the tiny port. Here you can watch the fisher-folk set off in their delightful dinghies. You too can hire a tiny boat from one of the friendly fishermen, and try your luck. You may just end up landing the catch of the day!

The Coast And The Countryside
You can go on a refreshing walk, along the charming coast-line and the blossoming countryside. The views along this circular walking path are a treat for the senses. The playful sea-breeze will flirt with your hair, while the various sea-birds call out to you in pleasure. The hypnotising sound of the water will sedate you, as the fresh salty sea-air fills your lungs...
This path soon curves into the countryside, where a rhapsody of colours unravels before your eyes. Amongst the tall brown ancient trees grow thick stocky green bushes. And all around, peeping merrily, are joyful bunches of vivid wild-flowers, blooming in uninhibited delight...
This beautiful stroll will remain a precious memory for a long time...
