Our first proper day in Cornwall saw us driving around the entire western peninsula, and stop at just about every cove along the way. Luckily the weather was once again beautiful, time for shorts and bathers.
We happened to drive past the tiny parish of Pendeen, where there was a pasty festival. Yes! Obviously we stopped, and lined up with hordes of other people to snag ourselves one of the delicious pasties for sale (in the church no less), a scone, and then sit in the graveyard along with everyone else, whilst enjoying said goodies. Sitting in the graveyard was a bit strange, I won't lie, but it was what everyone else was doing so hey, who were we to change things.
After the pasty extravaganza we headed along the coast to Land's End, stopping several times along the way at various coves and and towns. Although Land's End is a bit of a tourist hotstop, it nonetheless is quite cute, and so long as you don't expect to spend too much time there you won't be disappointed. We decided to have a quick cider before heading on, because that's just how we roll.
Now check out the drink level/horizon in this. Photographic genius.
Below is probably one of the most picturesque, traditional English countryside views I've ever come across.
We finished the day at St Michael's Mount, although we didn't make the crossing due to high tide. So instead we had a picnic at the beach, not a bad trade off in my opinion!
Oh I lie, we finished the day in St Ives with this beauty at Moomaid ice cream!
Oh alright, that's a lie too. We then had a drink at the Sloop Inn, one of the oldest inns in England dating back to 1312, where I had a cider with no bubbles. Very strange.
