DOMINIQUE TEMPLE COUNTRY STYLE
Safari style can be bright, colourful and still practical, says The Telegraph’s beauty editor
Safari packing is no easy task. Unlike a holiday to the Caribbean or a weekend in Europe, where a few pretty dresses, bikinis and statement earrings will do, safari dressing requires meticulous planning and co- ordination. It’s no coincidence that the word “safari” derives from the Swahili word for “journey” and, while you may be on the trip of a lifetime, you need quite a few changes of clothes. Well, at least I did! Here’s my guide to smart safari packing.
Atwo-and-ahalf-hour, four-mile walk from the National Trust. Leave Boscastle car park ( grid ref SX101912) and turn left. Follow the road through the village to the riverside Tarmac track, heading for the quayside in the harbour. Ascend the steps next to the breakwater and bear left on to the South West Coast Path.
When the path splits, take the right-hand fork signposted Willapark. Follow a steep path to the Coast Watch Tower, then bear right as you descend and right again to rejoin the coast path.
Bear left to follow the path around the Forrabury Stitches to St Symphorian’s church. Go through the churchyard where you will pass a medieval cross.
On leaving the churchyard, turn left, go downhill then cross the main road. Go down the slip road opposite and turn right. Take the public footpath on the left near the top of the street just before the main road. Pass between a house and small pond. Go through the gate.
Turn left on to a path marked Home Farm and waymarked Minster Wood. Follow hedge on left and cross a stile. Take the faint track straight across the field. Go through the gap in the wall, to the gate in the corner of the field.
Pass through Cold Frame Orchard, exit via a stile and keep left. Cross another stile then follow a faint track diagonally across the field to a gate, then take the track marked Valency Valley through Minster Wood.
Keep the Valency river on your left and, climbing now, follow the woodland path to Minster Church. Cross the stepping stones over the river, turn left and follow the valley path back to Boscastle.
