BRITISH ISLES #2

Yesterday  we   drove  from Bath to Land's End .  The very  southwestern-most  tip of the island of Britian. We have  a charming  B  &  B  that  was  once  a  working  farm  & has  been  lovingly  renovated  to a sophisticated  guest  room. When  I  visit  a place like this  I'm so impressed with the high style employed in European  fixtures, furnishings ,  and  design .

Today we walked to the  hotel  / tourist attraction  at the  point .  Then went on a  little  hike  along the Coastal Trail at Porthgwara and visited another  coastal village  called Porthcurno. This is the home of the Telegraph  Museum  -- most of the under sea communication  cables originated  from here, and it was  the largest telegraph center in the world. The famous Minack Theatre is also here. We tend to think of Cornwall as a harsh  environment ,  which it is ;  however, it is quite temperate so the flowers love it -- they are HUGE   & prolific. Buildings are mostly constructed  of  local stone, all are gray. Farm plots are separated  by stone walls overgrown with flowering vines.  It was

pretty cool to see the Atlantic  Ocean  from this perspective.
