Cornwall

[sky tot]

Doesn’t look like my trip to Cadiz & Córdoba will be happening this year , so we’ve decide to go to Cornwall In June ( fingers crossed). We’ve booked 3 nights in Padstow and 3 night in Mevagissey. On route down to Cornwall to are having a day in Bristol . I’m looking for any recommendations for restaurants, walks , pubs , anything . Cheers

A good call breaking the trip in half. Seven hours travelling in one go would do my nut in. Or even do the full journey overnight with a brew stop and no congestion

fabulous idea. You will love it. Go to Clovelly for a day. Beautiful.

Oh yea Clovelly looks lovely. Seen it recently on the tele , sledges are novelty

There has been a lot of programs on sky recently about the Cornish fishermen. An absolute beautiful place in all respects. What a crying shame FlyBe went under as they used Newquay airport. Could have flown down in 45 minutes and hired a car

Clovelly is beautiful indeed, but you won’t be alone in this Devon hotspot!

Loganair now fly that route.

From Manchester?

 

[CJH]

Mevagissey, lovely place. Visit Charlestown for the tall ships, Minack Theatre (stunning), Lizard - too many to mention really

 

[CJH]

From Manchester?

Yep, just started.

Went to Clovelly years ago as a kid. That was one steep hill.

 

[Two Gun Bob]

Yes just checked. Thanks for the heads up
Current pricing around £120 return and that's with a 15k bag so very good value indeed

Out of here ...10pm news with our Huh
Adios

Polperro is nice while you’re in Mevagissy. Loads of pubs and restaurants. No traffic. About an hour away.

Take the ferry to Rock whilst in Padstow if the weather is good and walk to a fabulous beach at Polzeath. Not much else there though.

I was surprised at the distance between south and north Cornwall.

Have you a reason for visiting Bristol? Consider Castle Combe. It’s lovely.

No reason for Bristol only to break up the journey and I’ve never been . Thanks for your recommendations. Will have a look at Castle Combe

Watch for motorway closures at night .... can delay you plenty

I could wax lyrical about Cornwall all day & night.
First went in teens with a mate but when I went 20 years ago when my daughter was one, I just fell in love & have been pretty much every year since.

There are issues there though and those recent programs highlight these.

Rock Stein (Padstein) has made some lovely programs about it recently.

North Coast (St. Agnes) is where I normally gravitate but always spend a day in St. Ives, and when it ‘pings’ it’s one of my favourite places in the U.K.

Breaking the journey up is a good idea.

PM me if you need any other suggestions....

When we drive down there we set off about 7pm and stay in a premier inn just off M5. Takes about 3 hrs to get there, then we carry on the next day to Cornwall.

Falmouth is a good base.

Do the Cornish still want independence from England?

Used to love going to Bedruthan steps
