Day 4. Gone south as far as we can!

Recommended Posts

Today started after another hearty breakfast with a walk it Tintagel Castle, this reminded us we prefer driving not walking so back to Westy it was. We took B roads via Slaughter Bridge past the old air field to north of Bodmin moor. Unfortunately the A30 is the only real choice to Bodmin itself but we wanted to go via Jamaica Inn so needs must, we did manage a bit off piste to stop all the dual carriageway.

It was then on to Bodmin Jail, we found it brill and well worth a stop, indeed 2 hours soon passed.

Next it was on to Padstein!, Porthcothan, Mawgan Porth and Newquay for brew and wee stop again. Next were Portreath, Gwithian, Hayle and another stop by St Ives.

Next was the B3306 to St Just, "The best road in Cornwall" proboly. It was then on for our final photo opurtunity at Lands End when we had our last picture taken 27 years ago on our honeymoon, time flies I guess.

It was the a short final trip to Mousehole were we rest tonight

Very jealous. Every time I go to Marazion I wish I took the Westfield. Although threading the discovery through mousehole is amusing for the rest of it the Westfield would be better!

Looks like you are having a great time and no mention of rain.

Gotta love a jail described as a family attraction - there's a few members of my family I'd happily sling into a jail.

Looks fantastic fun. I always look at Jamaica Inn signs when I fly passed in the family wagon on the A30 heading to see family in Falmouth. One day the latest wife and myself will take the Westie down for a buzz round for a few days :black-westy:
