Portmellon Valley Wildlife Walk

5/14/2019

Location: Portmellon, Mevagissey
Photographer: Rowena Castillo Nicholls
​Videographer: Rob Nicholls

The weather is just glorious. Sunny and warm with a gentle breeze. So, me and Rob thought if would be fantastic if we go for a walk in Portmellon Valley. The valley is just so picturesque. All you see is lush green fields and plenty of gorgeous wild flowers. 
We've seen 15 different species of butterflies and loads of birds too. We had an enjoyable walk from 12:00pm to 5:30pm.

We walk for 5 hours and 30 minutes. We have such a fantastic and fabulous time. The scenery is just amazing.

We can't help but reward ourselves with a sumptuous fish and chips at "The Fishermen's Chippy" after our long walk.
