This particular visit to Cornwall, was in August 2004. I went with my Danish pals and it also Included a couple of days in Devon too....though here I'll just Include Cornwall.
We stayed In Bodmin, which was a great place to use as a base to visit other places.
So we visited Lands End, Penzance & St Ives, all of which were nice places to see.
Lands end being a very dramatic coastline with its rugged rocks & coves.
Always a queue for the photo at the Signpost!.....where you can have it altered to include your particular town or city, with it's distance In miles from there.
St Ives has a lot of narrow streets to explore, with a variety of Interesting shops .
The beaches are very nice too and plenty of Art Galleries there to browse as well.
Also on our trip was Tintagel & Boscastle. Tintagel was a tester for climbing!...at the Castle ruins. But the struggle was worth it, with again, plenty of Coastline to admire and the sea crashing against the rocks. The weather was not great on our visit, but still enjoyable.
Also In Tintagel, was the National Trust owned "Post Office"(Photo above).
Other places we went, included Lanhydrock House In Bodmin, with spectacular gardens (Photos above) and Impressive inside the house too. Also "Jamaica Inn", the famous Smugglers Inn, that has a gift shop there, as well as the Resturant & Bar. We visited the village of "Alternun" too, which was on the way to Tintagel & Boscastle. A nice Village with fine cottages & Church, (Photo above).
Another day we went to Looe & Polperro, Old Fishing villages and full of Character.
On the way, we visited St Neots & Bodmin Moor Itself, seeing the old Tin mines & and desolate landscape, which adds to the Character of Cornwall. The weather is unpredictable, due to having two coastlines, so weather fronts can come in from both directions.
This year I plan to visit Cornwall again In June, which will Include other places I did'nt manage to see last time. Though a week would not be enough to see all of Cornwall.
Certainly an area of great landscapes and Interesting places to visit.
