Cheap Eats on the South West Coast Path

If you’re walking the stretch from Padstow to Penzance, you’ll spend a lot of time hungry. The views are free, but the food isn’t. Skip the tourist traps in St Ives and look for bakeries in the smaller villages—Porthleven’s pasty shop saved me on a rainy day, and the crab sandwiches in Mousehole were the only thing under £10 that didn’t taste like cardboard. Grocery stores are rare, so stock up when you see one. Don’t expect a meal with a view to be cheap. The best ones are eaten on a bench, with sand in your shoes and the wind stealing your crisps. #BudgetTravelUK #SWCP #RealTravelTips #Travel
