National Trust - Lansallos — Attraction in Polperro

Beautiful sights but my gosh, it's a really steep trek in some places. There's about three massive hills that you literally ascend and descend over. Some have steps, some don't and they're literally 45° steep.

Other paths lead from the National Trust campsite at Highertown Farm, across the fields and...
