Day Eight - Glendurgan Gardens

Image
Decided to get maximum benefit from our newly acquired National Trust membership and headed to Glendurgan Gardens which is about a twenty minute drive away. A walk through the gardens led to Durgan where this beautiful little beach was hidden away. Views across the Helford River Pretty cottages all around. Hmmm! This looks interesting, I wonder what's in there Lol! Smallest art gallery ever :) Back to Falmouth after the gardens to get caught in quite a shower!!!

Day One - En route to Glastonbury

Image
After an early start we stopped in Monmouth to grab our picnic and headed down the Wye Valley towards Tintern Abbey. We stopped just before at Brockweir and sat on a seat overlooking the river while eating our salads. Glastonbury next with a detour via Cheddar Gorge. Parked the car and decided to head up Jacob's ladder, 274 steps to the top of the cliffs followed by a walk along the top. Fantastic views over Cheddar, Cheddar reservoir and Glastonbury Tor.

Day Three - Pendennis Castle

Image
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 ...
