Enys Garden (Enys: circle, island, clearing in the forest) I had absolutely no desire on this particular day to visit Enys Gardens. I had no desire to visit anywhere except for the underside of my duvet and our oversized biscuit tin. Still, I was emotionally blackmailed out of my warm and extremely comfortable bed, into…
May Your anchor Be Tight and Your Cork Be Loose… Our latest trip took us to Lands End and the Penwith Peninsula and once again I got to exercise my inner ‘history’ geek. Not surprisingly for February, it was absurdly cold, high wind, rain, hail, sleet, sun – we had it all in spades (except…
Kennack Sands A while back, before we all came down with the dreaded lurgy, we decided to spend the weekend exploring the southernmost tip of England. We chose a small but cosy Airbnb in Saint Martin. (https://www.airbnb.co.uk/rooms/13544550) The tiny ‘drive through’ village was quaint as were the surrounding villages.

After a quick lunch in the recommended ‘Taphouse‘ (Surfers paradise/Mexican restaurant in appearance…
The Headland Hotel – Newquay We were hungry. We had spent the morning, driving (what felt like) all over Cornwall, doing various errands. Sure everything we had on our ‘to-do’ list could have been done over a period of a few days, even weeks but with my ‘why isn’t it done already?!’ attitude in full…
Golitha Falls National Nature Reserve, Cornwall We are incredibly lucky to have the beautiful Golitha Falls (old Cornish word for obstruction) on our door step. It is also incredibly convenient if you are launching a blog on stunning Cornish locations such as we are. So, off we set across the moors to our second location….
PORTLOE a fishing village hidden away and lost in time on Cornwalls coastal path. Portloe – July 2017 – The break in the damp weather couldn’t have come at a better time, giving us the perfect excuse to get out of the house and kick start our blog – Secrets of Cornwall – Rain macs…
