Cornwall Coast

A picture of the Cornwall coast through a wall from Tintagel Castle.

On Saturday we drove down to St. Michael's Mount. It is a castle that is on its own Island and the family that owns it still lives there on the backside of the island and castle. Little did we know that the castle is not open to the public on SATURDAY! We still made the most of our time. The walkway that leads over to the castle is only usable at low tide. We decided to walk over anyway (lots of people were) and we were warned that the tide was coming in and there are no ferry's on Saturday's either. So, you know, we figured we had time. We get over there and they blow a whistle to head back, tide is coming in fast. We started back, and the water was starting to cover the path of stones. The seaweed was slick and it was slow going. Only eight minutes had past since we started across with a dry path, and the path was covered in water. It gets like 8-10 feet deep, so you cannot just wade across. You will see on the photo site the difference in the path! It was cool. We then played on the beach, (cool day) and decided to drive over to "Land's End" the farthest most western tip of England. It had started to rain by this time, so we took some pictures, shopped a little and then headed back to the castle. Overall, we had a great weekend and got to see alot of the countryside. Lots of patchwork fields and hills. The kind we see on the postcards. Another great weekend, Signing off, An American Mom in England
