We have hundreds of miles of canal back in the north west and walk them regularly.Today we have been for cream tea on the barge cafe,weight watchers is closed so we have to walk it off.This is a sea end canal,which is something you don't see everyday,the canal do's actually finish in the atlantic.Perfectly flat towpath,well maintained with some interesting sculptures along the way.We walked from town centre to beyond the first long bend,It probably took about half an hour.The wetland that runs parallel is alive with birds and ducks and has a hide for viewing.Plenty of people taking time away from covid to stroll,slowly along ,a little nod hello or a small smile can be a cure to some people and a winding canal is perfect on a cold day to blow away the cobwebs,There is also plenty of history to read about in the town section.This is a really pleasant nature walk,we saw herons asleep and stalking,fish topped a couple of times and a peregrine went home hungry,this is a well cared for place free of litter and unlike back home,no shopping trolley or moped below the surface.I did not pack any fishing gear as all we wanted was some time together after working through this pandemic and to walk and explore.But inside I was seething as we walked along there were four guys sitting on the far bank fishing,I am far to mature to be jealous,but shouldn't they be at work

This is a very dog friendly walk, there are a few styles but they are easy to negotiate. There are a couple of good pubs in Flushing and a cute little cafe.

Some people believe that King Arthur abandoned his sword Excalibur in Loe Pool, Cornwall's largest natural body of freshwater.

We visited on a quiet winters morning, parked in the national trust car park. It was a lovely walk down the hill to the lake, the stables were closed as it is out of season, yet we had some sandwiches with us and found a beautiful spot with a bench overlooking the lake, so peaceful and great for watching all the wildlife on the lake, could have spent hours there, will definitely return for another visit
7. Bude Sea Pool
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,008 reviews
Bude Sea Pool is a part-natural, partially man-made tidal swimming pool on the beach at this popular seaside town in North Cornwall. It was built in the 1930s under the cliffs of Summerleaze Beach to provide safe bathing in sea water, but away from the dangerous Atlantic currents in the bay. Measuring around 91m by 45m, it is topped up at high tide by the Atlantic Ocean. Since 2012 it has been managed by the Friends of Bude Sea Pool, a not-for-profit charity that took over the facility when public funding was withdrawn. The spacious Pool provides plenty of room for paddling or serious swimming: inflatables, snorkels, surfboards and even scuba divers are welcome - just be considerate of other users, please. Bude Sea Pool is open throughout the year and is FREE for all to enjoy. Children must be accompanied at Bude Sea Pool at all times. Swimming in the Pool is FREE but there are donation boxes at the Pool if you enjoy your splash and want to help us maintain this wonderful facility.

We were finally able to travel to Bude in July this year. I had been dreaming about swimming in the sea pool throughout lockdown! So wonderful to be back in the water. Lovely shallow area to test out the temperature and then just delicious salt water swimming. Can’t wait to be back to visit again.
