Day Three - Pendennis Castle

The morning sunrise from the lounge window. Shame the house to the right is in the way :(

Went for a long and hilly walk to Pendennis Castle. Falmouth is still quite a commercial port given the size of some of the vessels in dock!

Views from Pendennis head across the harbour were spectacular even with the poor weather.

Zoom in and you can see the girl practising her Tai Chi by the sea.

A visit to the castle itself. Geoff climbed to the topmost point to get a view back to the building built for the defence of the country at the early part of the 20th Century. Castle was a key post in Henry VIII times, during Napoleonic war and first and second world wars.

Walk back along the sea front, Shame about the weather.

An incredible succulent bush growing right next to the sea.

Visibility was severely impaired by the weather too :)


Went to The Chinz Symposium pub on the evening. The photos really can't do it justice













Finally a walk back home and a shot of the harbour at dusk

And The Boathouse pub, visited last night



Over 10 miles walked today. Truro on the train tomorrow possibly, depending on the weather
