Watergate, Boscastle ( 14 photos )
Today has been a beautiful day weather-wise. The sun has shone nearly the whole day, and it has been very pleasant driving along.
We started out driving through a nearby village called Cadgwith, which is an old un-changed fishing village, and also happened to have some of the narrowest streets we have driven through.
Heading North, we went through Helson, Redruth and Newquay, and then stopped for a while a Watergate Bay, where Mum used to come for holidays with her parents. The beach there was a "surf beach", and although it had some medium-sized waves, it wasn't a patch on Cronulla. The towering cliffs either side of the beach were awesome to look at as we walked along the sand.
A little further North, we came to Wadebridge where we had lunch in a village cafe, before driving on again and stopping in a village called Boscastle. This was a beautiful place with a steep winding road going down to the shops and the tiny harbour. We spent a while looking around the shops, walking by the river down to the harbour and watching the ducks.
The rest of the afternoon was spent driving further north through farmland, and a short while looking for a B&B. We are staying in a really nice farm B&B (the farmer was in the middle of milking the cows when we arrived!) in Horn's Cross near Bideford.
