Plymouth to Truro and Newquay
The weather on Tuesday 27th of May was not very different comparing to day before. We left Plymouth in peace after finishing our breakfast. First stop we did is called Lantic Bay. On it’s dedicated car park, there was only one more car, except of our Juke. It was still rainy, so we put the raincoats on and begun the walk. In some 30 minutes we reached the bay. What a beautifully rough feeling from the first moment! There was absolutely no one else, only us, massive black somewhat smooth stone, untouched sands periodically waved.
For me, this is perhaps the strongest memory of the whole road trip.
After this natural expedition we continued further and later stopped by a place called Lost Gardens of Heligan. There we sat down in its canteen for some delicious food and then explored the beautiful gardens. As it was still little bit rainy the place was not that busy and the fresh air suited to the wild botanical garden very well.
Our plan for the day was to oversleep in Falmouth, but as there was no hotel to book, we took a break in Truro = the capital of Cornwall to search for a shelter nearby. The options were suddenly very limited, so after an hour or so of searching I came cross to a place called Lewinnick Lodge in Newquay almost at the end of Penrite Head. Once we found out how to properly pronounce Newquay, we also read that it’s a town with biggest criminality in the whole Cornwall. Never mind the bollocks this Lewinnick Lodge is a fantastic accommodation for affordable price.
