Today started off a bit cloudy and very windy. Our hopes were that the wind would clear the clouds off and it eventually did.
Our first stop was at the Elizabethan Manor House, Trerice. A wonderful place, just the right size one could imagine living there; with a few servants of course.
I spotted this lime tree growing in the back garden.
Then a 1/2 hour drive to the north coast of Cornwall to Port Isaac, which had visited back in 1997. Here I am, a happy man, in the parking lot in Port Isaac overlooking Port Gaverne Bay.
Port Gaverne Bay
Along the seaview walk… taking in the view!
Down, down, down the hill into the heart of the village.
For Doc Martin lovers, here’s the Doc’s Surgery.
And the school house.
And the pharmacy.
Port Isaac harbour view.
Port Isaac from atop the western headlands… 125 steps up and 125 steps down.
Having a nice lunch at Cupcakes in the sun!!!
Elaine very happy after sharing a bottle of Cornish Rattler (cider)!
We spent an enjoyable time with others, doing what one should to on a beautiful afternoon… sit on the seawall and watch the tide come in.
We eventually had to leave… traveled to the little town of Lostwithiel and had a great dinner at the Globe Inn.
While waiting for the pub to start serving we took a short walk around the town and saw the bridge over the Fowey River that dates back to the 1400’s.
There’s also a 1300’s Norman church in the town.
What a wonderful, perfect day! Tomorrow we’re hoping for at least part of the day to be nice as we want to take in some gardens and do a few walks along the River Fal.
Cheers!
