From Newquay back to Newquay
What a lovely day this was! As a starter, we had some delicious breakfast at our Lewinnick Lodge. They we really good. I’d say as good as those in Portsmouth were.
Straight after that tasty joy, we decided to book our room for another night, so that we could explore the far west of Cornwall, without the hassle of searching for a room.
Our first stop on Wednesday was the great Hayle Beach located on the north coast of Cornwall, which is known for its miles of golden sands and clear waters. Here we spent some time walking around and having a small refreshment at Cove Coffee.
The next stop which meant to be the highlight of our trip was St Michael’s Mount on the south coast by the Marazion Beach near Penzance. This is a tidal island which is connected to the mainland by a causeway and it is a counterpart to very similar island in Normandy Mont-Saint Michel. On the rocky island there is a beautiful medieval castle with well designed gardens, a church and few old houses for domestic staff. Even though we bought the tickets only for the outer part of the castle, we somehow managed to brush past the ticket lady and were able to see the the whole castle from inside too. There was a very pleasant gentleman keeping eye on the queen’s and king’s room who told us pretty much of castle’s story.
Amazed by the picturesque place, we missed on tide time and had to return in a boat.
Afterwards, searching for some food, Miska found this well rated fish and chips stop in Lizard which stop us for about 30 minutes. But then we got a huge portion of fish to eat at the Lizard End. Heading back to north we swiftly turned to west for the Kynance Cove parking spot. This is another beautiful coast – cove scenery, very harsh wild and so much charming.
