Cornish country lane

Sunday
We were planning to visit Port Isaac first this morning, but we found we didn’t have enough coins for the car park, and Roger wasn’t having any luck trying to use the mobile phone method, so instead we headed off to walk some of the south-west coastal path, starting at Port Quin, where there is a National Trust car park, and we are Royal Oak Foundation members, an American organization affiliated with the National Trust, giving us the same benefits as National Trust members. Port Quin and nearby Port Gaverne were once bustling fishing ports on the rugged north Cornwall coast. Today, it is a peaceful, sheltered inlet. We followed the spectacular coastline westwards towards the distinctive headland of the Rumps. We didn’t make it quite that far, but instead followed a track inland and returned to the car along country lanes, some of which as you can see from my blip were full of colour. From there we drove towards Tintagel, stopping off at Trebarwith Strand for a walk on the beach. It turns out Tintagel Castle is closed currently for the construction of a new footbridge, but we would have been too late to get in anyway - it was more a matter of revisiting places from my past!
