Bells walk to Maker church


May 24th 2024. The day started with breakfast at Elvira’s cafe before catching the Cremyll Ferry and skirting around Mount Edgecombe House up to Maker church where we were welcomed to chime and view the bells then climb the tower to the top to take in the specular views of Plymouth and surrounding countryside. (This tower was a lot easier to navigate than most we’ve encountered, as has regular open days)

Then onto Kingsand and Cawsand before returning along the coast path. A beautiful day and great company again.
