MOUSEHOLE CORNWALL

During my Cornwall tour we also visited Mousehole a charming little town which had developed around its harbour (and of course the fishing fleet that sustained it). It's name appears in the record books as an important fishing port from as early as 1266, in fact, part of the south quay originates from 1390 - possibly the oldest pier in Cornwall. The fishing industry has declined drastically over the last 100 years, but a few fishing boats maintain the long heritage and tradition of a working harbour, whilst the majority of vessels now lying at anchor are pleasure craft.



We walked along the harbour



It was low tide and the boats were sitting on the ground.





It was a pleasure to see all these old typical houses





lots of flowers and plants



pastel painted houses and the old church tower



and finally we found a very old Pub which had a cute little terrace on the roof, where we had a nice cup of tea to warm us up !

LAND's END CORNWALL UK

Land's End is mainland Britain’s most south-westerly point and one of the country’s most famous landmarks. From the 61 m (200 ft) high granite cliffs that rise out of the Atlantic Ocean you can gaze across to the Longships Lighthouse, the Isles of Scilly 45 km (28 miles) away and beyond that, America. For that you have to have eagle eyes !

The closest village is Sennen, a parish in Penzance district. The village stands 118 m (387 ft) above sea-level, 1.6 km (1 mile)of Lands-End, and has an inn, called the First and Last inn in England. Salt-works were here, but have been discontinued but fishing is largely carried on. Even the Romans who preceded me wherever I go were here, because Roman coins were found in 1807.

Land's End itself is not a town or village but rather a former small holding which now has a hotel, exhibition halls featuring the area’s role in air sea rescue, a 4D cinema, play areas for the kids, Greeb Farm with its collection of small animals, speciality shops and working craftsmen which made me think of a kind of Disney World.

Fortunately there is a coastal footpath for visitors wishing to just enjoy the stunning natural landscape.



The entrance to the Tourist area







I didn't stay there very long, just walked around and then had enough. I prefer nature !



From this point people could have taken pictures with their home town written on the photo and the km or miles distance. I thought I can google the distance from Waterloo to Land's End.



Just before the entrance, there were stones standing around a little bit like a small Stonehenge.





Between the stones stood little historical house replicas



The land around looked beautiful !



From far I saw the island with the lighthouse



and then came pure nature !









I found a stone to sit on and remained there for a while just enjoying this gorgeous landscape.









People were walking around the end ! Unfortunately it was a little cool and very windy.
