Tommy Tonkins, festival organiser, said: "The walk was fantastic, with breathtaking views and beautiful scenery.

"It was a chance for us to meet all of the event's supporters properly and to let them know how grateful we are."

Jennie Trevithick, a walker from Mylor Yacht Harbour, said: "What an amazing way to start this festival. If it's a sign of what's to come it's going to be really enjoyed by a great deal of people.

"It was lovely to see children on the launch walk, as well as dogs, with everyone having a good time."

The route began and ended at the Nare Hotel which helped sponsor the event and gave walkers high tea.

Toby Ashworth, the hotel's owner, said: "The walk from Nare Head is one of the most stunning walks on the south coast in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty."
