From Dartmouth, we drove
to Padstow. We had a lovely large house just 5 minutes walk
from the pretty harbour. |
|
Below: Padstow on the right and Rock opposite. |
 |
We took a number of walks
along the beautiful coast. |
 |
|
|
 |
|
|
 |
Including one to the stone built Daymark Tower.
Built in the times of the Spanish Armada when fires were lit
along the coast to warn of impending invasion. |

 |
Left: The main street of Padstow.
Right: The famous Rick Stein Restaurant,
where we ate a fantastic meal. |
 |
|
We also took the ferry to
Rock, from where we had another great walk. |

|
We visited our friend Stephen in St Mawes... |
...popping in to visit the pretty village of Portscatho
on the way there... |
|
...and to Heligan Gardens
on the way back the next day. |
|
|
|
|
Also staying in Padstow
the same week were David and Jane. Together we went to the
Eden
Project. It was huge and fascinating. |
|
|
|
|
|
It was a Special Birthday
for Jane while we were there, and we celebrated it at the
Rick Stein Bistro. |
|
|
|
And after that highlight,
the next day we drove home. |
