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.

Pasty Land, Cornwall Part II

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.
