Cornwall


Expedition Cornwall:

Waterproof jacket – check, shorts – check, alcohol and munchies – check, welly-boots –check, 
eccentric, but endearing in-laws – check!

We arrived in St Just, our base for the family holiday in Cornwall. St Just is a cute little coastal
village near Lands End.

Plenty of things to do around here, nice coastal walks, surfing (if your brave enough for British
water temperatures), beautiful scenery, relaxing and eating especially local specialties like 
Cornish pasties and cream teas. Yum.

We visited Eden Project, which is amazing garden paradise with biomes exhibiting tropical
and Mediterranean climates.
Perfect for anyone who is currently experiencing the British summer!

St Michael's mount is situated in a stunning location, a medieval castle set on an outcrop of rock
surrounded by the sea on all sides.  Only accessible by boat or wading through the water at low
tide which just adds to the mystery and appeal of the place.

Something definitely worth visiting is the magnificent Minack theatre carved out of the rocks
by one woman and her two gardeners.
As you can see from the photos it’s literally a theatre on a cliff edge that has survived through
one world war and countless storms thanks to a very dedicated, inspirational lady.
Creates a beautiful backdrop for plays that still go on almost every evening regardless of what
the weather is like.

There is lot more to explore around here, Will definitely have to come back at some point.
