Rainbow Journeyman’s diary

The crumbling stones of Bedruthan Steps are the highlight of this dramatic walk along one of the finest stretches of the South West Coast Path…..The common notion that the steps are said to be the stepping stones of a Cornish giant named Bedruthan was dreamt up by Victorians. The name belongs to the almost perpendicular staircase cut into the rocks that drops to the bay. Historically, the steps have been perilous and the cliffs surrounding them unstable so the National Trust closes them every few years for repairs. It is worth checking tide times and to try to visit during low tide.
