We were staying not far from Lizard point, which is the mostly southerly point of mainland England. The views are great and it was another gorgeous day.
Walking to the point |
Of course it is part tourist attraction and is a national trust area.
Dad and I walked down and then dad decided he could get mom down in the wheel chair. So I went for a walk down to the bottom of the cliffs while he did that. (Apparently it was a rocky trip as the path is quite steep. Both were very relieved that they down it.) They stopped near the top and enjoyed the view.
At the bottom is a derelict coast guard and lifeboat launch.
Back at the top we enjoyed a drink and snack in the sun.
On the last day we stopped off a few times on the way back to the caravan near Padstow. First stop was a 'bakery' with artisan bread. It turned out to be a stall by the side of the road with an honesty box. While we were having a look, the baker himself came out, looking like a classic french baker (with a Cornwall accent). He had some more loaves in the oven and invited us in to have a look (mom stayed in the car). I love Cornwall for this. He basically just invited 2 complete strangers into his house.
We brought 3 loaves and some flat jack and I have been told they were amazing. (I was quite jealous I couldn't eat it though I did sample a little.)
On the way back we stopped briefly at a beach (I can't remember the name) for a break and an ice-cream.
