Our week in Cornwall.....
« on: 17:58:56, 31/05/10 »
We've stayed in this area before - last time in Polkerris, just around the bay, so we were already familiar with this area, so as soon as we arrived, we felt like we were in confortable surroundings, which was a really nice feeling.  Cornwall is a magical place - the coastal scenery is truly astonishing and I love exploring the coves and small villages which are in abundance all around the Cornish coast.
 
For those not familiar with the area, Charlestown is a small harbour right by St Austell.  Need to go and put up 2 tents for some 'sleepover' chaos now so will just share the piccies......
 
Charlestown Harbour upon our arrival.

 
The sailing ship in the sea-lock.  The harbours main activity was in the export of China-Clay all around the world.  Really interesting history/story behind it all.  Anyone in the area really must visit the Shipwreck & Heritage Museum just up the road from the harbour.  Fascinating stuff !!




 
The view out of our cottage bedroom window - heavenly.

 
Blimey is that the time !!  Will have to add more commentary on piccies later - tent erection required (oo-errrr!!! :-[ )

Cornwall is a strange place, I find that inland it is as dull as ditchwater, the coast though.... wow!

As your pics demonstrate in the latter case.
