Today was another travel day from the Roseland Peninsula of Cornwall to the Western end of Cornwall. From Tregoose to Ennys B&B.
It was only a matter of time, but today we ran into a Cornish traffic jam!
After abandoning an attempt to find a launderette in Truro, we headed down to St. Mawes and walked along the Quay… the tide was out!
The Idle Rocks hotel has some beautiful benches that overlook the harbour.
I would NOT want to be a delivery van driver in Cornwall… this guy actually drove in while we were watching to deliver meat to the Butcher.
A short walk through the narrow streets showed us some very beautiful places. We picked up some sausage rolls, some local Black Bomber cheddar cheese and some sweets for our picnic lunch at the next stop.
We drove back up the peninsula to the St. Just-in-Roseland Church a 13th century church, graveyard and gardens.
This was one of Elaine’s ‘must sees’ for our time in Cornwall.
Can you believe the size of these rhubarb like plants?
We had a picnic lunch overlooking the river and had a visitor!
The cemetery was in a very beautiful setting.
A view from the top of the hill, beyond the church steeple to the river.
For fun and a shorter trip onwards, we took the King Harry Ferry across the Fal River.
This was one of those magical moments… we turned a corner and caught our first glimpse of St. Michael’s Mount and had to stop to take a pic.
Then, two minutes later we drove past our first group of Gypsies parked with their caravan and horses beside the road.
After an interesting 1 mile trip up the driveway, we arrived at Ennys, our B&B for the next four nights.
The front lawn has some beautiful gardens.
The view out our bedroom window back up the lane.
We had a wonderful dinner at the Victoria Inn in Perranthunoe.
It’s late and we’re both ready for bed! More tomorrow! Cheers!
