In July we met Kathy and Roy and spent 6 days hiking on the Cornish Coastal Path, which runs all the way around the edges of Cornwall, hugging the cliffs and inlets of the coast. Lots of up and down hiking, but the scenery and the hospitality were outstanding. This was our kind of hiking, active during the day traversing between 5-star hotels and inns with local Backroads “Active Adventure” guides. Cornwall is also very significant to John and Kathy since it is the origin of Rosevear and Williams ancestors on their grandmother’s side, who came to the US in the mid-19th century.

After the organized hiking adventure, which had touched on some of the areas where John and Kathy’s ancestors originated, we stayed a few more days to explore in more detail. We found evidence of our ancestors going back 6 generations to the 18th Century.
