Cornwall

Описание: Cornwall
11 weeks, 4 sites, three or two and a half weeks in each. Started Thursday 13th March 2025, finished Wednesday 28th May 2025.

Stayed just below Truro (twice) for the south, to the left of Bodmin then near Liskeard for the north.

A county that keeps giving. Everywhere you go there are four more places to see. Coasts, the moors, loade, woods, commons, lakes and mines. The St Piran flag (black with white cross) is seen everywhere. The charatistic living walls (Cornish hedges) and the many daffodil fields. The landscape was dominated by Granite and  Devonian Slate creating the well known Cornish coastal views. Cornwall has the longest coastline (422 miles) of any county in Great Britain and the clearest aquamarine water we have seen.

In Cornwall a wheel is not only a wheel and there are no pixies to be found 😜


Within the Cornwall boarders there are approximately 70 city's, towns and villages of which we saw or passed through 46. There are more coves and beaches than you can count (over 300).


It's important to know ..... Jam first on Cornish scones 😉


The highest point in Cornwall is a rude  'Brown Willy' 🫢 on Bodmin Moor at 1,378 feet 


Cornwall specific food was good. Cornish Pasties .. yum, Cream Teas .. extra yum, Ice Creams .. many yums. Chocolate Fudge hit the spot. Saffron rolls are a thing but not for us. We didn't look for, or try, the Stargazy Pie 🫣 (fish heads sticking out of a pie). Davidstow Cheese and Yarg Cheese which is wrapped in nettles was really nice. Heidi's first time having crab and lobster. She prefers lobster 🦞. Our first time having red mullet. Stanley's first doggy ice cream.
