Amazing views.

Tiny park with nice clean bench to enjoy fish & chips from Codfather or other snack of your choice. Clean public loo nearby (limited opening hours, shuts 7pm I think) and what seems a nice (though unvisited) pub is adjacent.

Not sure on opening hours, seems to have regular 'chippy' hours. Was busy when I called about 6 pm on a Friday but you can wait inside on a seat in comfort for your order. Small cod and small chip is actually a good light meal which is super-tasty. Best fish I can rem from a chippy in a long time. I think it is takeaway only, see related highlight for 'dining room'.

Spectacular bridge, very safe to cross by bike or on foot. At least when there is not a crosswind nor too many other users

Cawsand Beach is a historic smugglers bay made up of grey shingle. It's in a sheltered location and boasts rock pools and inlets. The turquoise water is clear and great for swimming, as you won't find many waves here.

Nice little spot with views of the Viaduct, best on a sunny day though.

I tried this climb yesterday evening towards Callington on my way back from Fowey. It is some hill!
