Day Eight - Glendurgan Gardens
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 Seven - St Ives
A 30 minute car journey to Camborne where we left the car to take a train ride to St Ives (via St Erth). First view of one of the beaches after we got off the train Waited quite a while to get this shot. View across the harbour. Along the pier. Latest spectator sport, sea watching. Season tickets available. Quite a stormy sea Loved this house so I asked the people in the garden if I could take a photo. The guy was happy to stay but his wife ran indoors :) Beach was popular with the families. Some people were even swimming! View to the other side of the bay from the top. Was so windy up here, Geoff took his glasses off to prevent them being blown away. Never dare a fool! I said to Geoff I'd love a photo through the window of the cottage showing the view at the other side! The end of the visit, just time for a selfie before we caught the train., View from the train on the return journey. Went for a Thai meal on the ev
Day Six - The end of the world and back again!
Not a great start to the day as the car battery was flat after being left for nearly 4 days so a call to Green Flag was needed. Two hours later and we're on the road to Land's End. Lindsey was surprised at how commercialised it was! Mandatory selfie in front of the signpost Westerly winds had stirred up a bit of a sea Heather across the moors leading up to Land's End was very pretty. After Land's End we headed to Marizion to park up and walk across the causeway to St Michael's Mount. It was a steep and rocky walk up to the castle but worth it for the views although the French equivalent definitely has so much more to offer! Hungry after the walk we headed to Porthleven for Fish and Chips. Looked to be a very pretty harbour town but sat in the harbour eating our tea when the rain came. A rush to the car to finish eating our tea and then headed home for a well deserved cup of tea and update the blog :)
