Autumn has not stolen in on softly padded velvet paws this year. No, this year our autumn marched into our lives, laced with gales and fogs. This has been an autumn to send the temperatures spinning and the sea into a frenzy of rolling waves and spray.

Fine Dining or budget friendly supper? Well Cornwall can offer them both and it’s just a question of picking your table and in some cases reserving far in advance.
Here’s our selection for this year, when we take a trip down memory lane to some of our nostalgic memories.
A visit to Penlee House
Our visit to Penlee House on a beautiful summers day when the Italianate house glowed in the sub tropical gardens offered a power packed exhibition of the Lamorna Colony artist followed by a perfect cream tea on the terrace
Mousehole to Lamorna and places in between!
A day dawned when the delicious ripple of spring was in the air and teased us from our winter hibernation. We walked under exquisite skies with the scent of the wildflowers drifting around us and the sound of the sea in our ears.
Porthleven Harbour – shadows and pasties
Porthleven Harbour with dramatic shadows and tasty pasties feature large in our latest adventure! The atmospheric light and the sheer magnificence of the granite harbour in wintertime.
Winter picnic beside the healing sea
A walk beside the Cornish sea is a wonderful antidote to Christmas, after the days of calorific over indulgence in the rituals of the season. Well who can resist Christmas Pudding!
New Year’s Day dawned with clear blue skies and bright sunshine. It was a day lent from summertime in fact. A day that was far too tempting not to pack a picnic and choose a walk to a secluded cove.
Happy Christmas and New Year!
May we wish you a very Happy Christmas and a comfortable New Year!
We’re looking forward to the vibrant days of spring and the balmy days of summer now aren’t you? Then is will be time to paddle our toes in the sea once more.
Explore Gurnards Head
Explore Gurnards Head for a great walk with spectacular sea views. There’s an atmospheric Iron Age Fort, Chapel and Mine and the prospect of a posh lunch beside a roaring log fire in the pub of the same name
Autumn Vibes
Are autumn vibes in the air right now? The change in the season ushered in with the tumbling waves?
