Lands End & Gayle’s Cornish Cream Tea 🫖

Started our journey today along the dramatic and impressive road along the cliffs leading to Sennen Cove. With rumbling tummies we found an amazing cafe at an old Tin Mine along the way… The views were extremely impressive from our table… As was the generous Full Cornish breakfast and French Toast with crispy streaky bacon 🥓 smothered in delicious maple syrup. There is NO doubt the Brit’s know how to do breakfast! What a great start to a day of exploration!

We did the awe inspiring walk along the South West Coastal Path and saw some breathtaking views all the way along the trail. We avoided the tourist trap at the end where you pay £11 to have your photo taken with the sign… You will notice that I used a “stand in” family for this portion 😝

Perched dramatically on the rugged cliffs of Cornwall, the Minack Theatre is a breathtaking open-air amphitheatre carved into granite and overlooking the turquoise waters of Porthcurno Beach. Visiting today felt like stepping into a dream—waves crashed far below as we admired the sweeping view of the coastline and the theatre’s stone terraces, seemingly hewn from the landscape itself. It’s hard not to be awestruck by the vision and determination of Rowena Cade, the remarkable woman who built the theatre nearly single-handedly in the 1930s, shaping each seat and path by hand with help from a few local craftsmen. Her legacy lives on in every curve of this astonishing place, where nature and artistry blend seamlessly to create an experience unlike any other.

We rounded out a great day at the quaint and sleepy village of Mousehole 🐭 where we had the best clotted cream tea 🫖 at 4 T’s, including freshly baked scones, homemade jam and perfectly clotted cream - Jam on first! Gayle, the lovely owner, proudly showed us her delicious Dundee Cake (…essentially a fruitcake made without cherries 🍒 with almonds on top… by order of Queen Mary of Scots!)Read more
