Cornwall day 24 Wed 16 May 2018

Left Neitherleigh in Cooks Lane Axminster about 9.30am and set the GPS to Trethevy to see the Trethevy Quoit roofed standing stone site. After driving way back into Dorset we followed motorways and rural road to to Tintagel Brewery in North Cornwall in rain and later sea fog as the village of Trethevy is nowhere near the ancient monument with the same name. So we did a brewery tour and Yvonne understood everything. Sampled some craft beers and ate Wagyu pie from the farm cattle who are fed the used brewery grain and liquid wort before becoming our meal. Drove to Tintagel (pronounced TinTagel) visitors centre. Then visited the quirky King Arthur’s Great Halls that we’re built in the 1930’ies by millionaire at enormous cost the building has a large room containing 72 stained glass windows. We then drove to look for the Men-an-tol holed stone and Yvonne spotted two solitary standing stones in different fields before we found the poorly signed lane to Men-an-tol standing holed stone. Walked half a mile to the stone. When driving to our accommodation Yvonne spotted the Lanyon Quoit almost completely hidden from the road, It may be around six thousand years old. Very narrow lanes near in this area. Codna Coath is a small cottage in Sellan Penzance area run by Margaret probably in her eighties. We are upstairs in a 1898 building in a upstairs room with a ceiling following the roof above with a framed picture of Queen Victoria over the bed.Читать далее
