Frolicking Through the Fields of Zennor, Cornwall

First things first - apologies for the complete lack of posts recently, I've just been incredibly busy and haven't had a moment to post anything unfortunately.

But anyway, I can't finish my posts about Cornwall without mentioning the adorable village we stayed in.  Zennor is a teeny tiny dot on the map, but it's one of my favourite places on earth now.  Home to the Tinners Arms pub, our hostel (more on that later), and a handful of houses, there isn't much, but it is exactly that which makes it so lovely.





We stealth walked around the fields in hope of not disturbing all the rabbits, and it took many attempts to get a photo of one!


Now onto our hostel...again, one of my favourites.  It's called Zennor Backpackers and can be found in this converted chapel, which is also home to a cafe on the ground floor.  Our room had a perfect, unrestricted view of the cliffs, it was simply stunning.















After spending a long time playing with the calves, you can have some delicious food and plenty of drinks at the Tinners Arms.  It's one of the oldest pubs in the world, and really cosy and perfect for some drinks, and also has plenty of vegetarian options thankfully.

The Cornish South Coast, Cornwall Day 5

Our fifth day in Cornwall saw us drive along the south coast, and explore all the bays and beaches there.  Along the way we scouted out the small village of Trewennack (Chewy's last name), and I capture this beauty of a photo!

Rather than ramble on, I'll let the photos do the talking in today's post.  Enjoy!




Anyone for a giant, face-sized pasty?







Call me immature, but I thought this sign was hilarious.

Coves, Beaches & Pasties, Cornwall Part III

On our third day in Cornwall we explored the entire north coast. Yep, the whole thing. From St Ives to Bude.  Even though it was a long day, it was entirely worth the effort given the views we had.  Add in a few extra stops along the way for scenic loveliness, our itinerary looked something like this - St Ives, Carbis Bay, Portreath, Porthtowan, St Agnes, Perranporth, Holywell, Newquay, Padstow and Rock, with the Bedruthan steps squeezed in too.

I won't say too much more because the pictures really do all the talking.


An obligatory pasty stop was made along the way for a late breakfast!

 


And this beautiful spot of the earth is where we stopped for lunch. We just grabbed ourselves some goodies from the supermarket and had a picnic, and we even both went for a swim.


In love with my Triangl swimwear!






We made the quickest of quick stop offs at the Bedruthan Steps, just enough time for me to jump out of the car and take a selfie!










Now you know those times when iMaps tells you a road exists but then it doesn't really? Well, that's what happened here.
