Last Day–Padstow

Just a hint of rain this morning.  We’d decided on Padstow for my last day and used the park and ride as the town is always difficult to park in.  There were loads of boats in the harbour and the place was buzzing …

There were so many children crabbing and they all seemed to be catching plenty …

We had a wander around the shops, lunched in The Old Ship Hotel and then found the Christmas shop …

A last evening walk around the site and the rabbits were out and about plus an interesting piece of metalwork …

Apparently there’d been rain all around us but we’d had a lovely day ending with a lovely sunset …

Second Day–Restormel Castle & Lostwithiel

Photos from our early walk this morning …

About four years ago Jo, Mike and I went to Restormel Castle but Paul had not come with us as he went to a Hill Climb.  It’s an English Heritage site which meant I got in for free as I’m a member!  We had a walk around the outside first …

Then we went inside …

We’d taken a picnic lunch and so with rugs on the grass, we settled down to eat and read our books.  It was so hot in the sunshine but there was a cool breeze which was heavenly under the trees.  Looking back at the castle …

In the afternoon we drove into Lostwithiel and had a wander around the town and church …

After such a hot day there was only one way to end it!

First Day–Fowey

Our first early morning walk took us around the site …

The sun soon came out and you can see we’re on Clover field …

Fowey was the destination for today and after parking on the hillside and walking down to the town, we found a bench overlooking the water …

Time for a posing photo and to learn about the harbour …

We had a wander through the shops and then found a cool bench near the church for our lunch …

After we’d eaten we had a look inside the church …

Then it was back to the waterside for one last look before climbing aboard the bus to take us back to the car park.  Paul and Fred decided to walk back but Hamish was very pleased to be getting a lift with Jo and myself!

One very tired Westie!

Walk in Tehidy

With a couple of hours of free time this afternoon I took Hamish to Tehidy Country Park for a walk.  Once parked we began by walking alongside the Tehidy Golf course and thankfully there were no wayward shots today!

There was a sign up explaining why part of the area was fenced off …

It was very quiet and we almost had the place to ourselves …

Unfortunately I was too late to get a coffee and cake at the Cafe as it was closed so we walked around to look at the lake before re-tracing our steps back to the car …

Hamish enjoyed his drink of water!
