We headed south with the sun shining and the sky blue, we soon left Devon and entered Cornwall. After a few miles on the main highway we decided to use the minor roads and see the coast. Well worth the effort but it has to be said that it was not relaxing driving and at times quite a challange.
Not very far from where we were headed for our next B&B is the Eden Project so we spent about 4 hours being amazed, impressed, entertained and inspired.
In their words - the Eden Project is an Educational charity, creating gardens, exhibitions, events, experiences and projects that explore how people can work together and with nature towards a better future. It was so very well done, at times quirky, always interesting, beautiful, fun and amazing on a massive scale with the facilities to cater for masses of people which we were very pleased was a smaller portion of masses than at peak season.
The biomes are the main standout feature, one is the Rainforrest Biome
the other the Mediteranian Biome.
There are also outdoor gardens with many interesting sculptures
and another unique building called the Core which is an interactive space.
We were really quite closely situated to our next B&B but with closed roads and confusing Sat Nav directions the short drive was longer and more stressful than it should have been.
Honeycombe Guest House has a prime position over Mevagissey Bay but it is on a steep hill with the access lane inches from the building and no onsite parking. Fortunately we had remembered this information from the website so arrived with reconfigured bags so that we only needed to take our smaller bags in, not the suit cases. Again there are rewards for the extra effort needed to get here.
Well done to Rod for his skilful driving which was challenged many times today.
I Love the horse sculptures, and OMG you stayed at Mevagissey, that was one of my favourite places in England, we didn't stay there we just stopped for a walk and a photo. when we were there the tide was out and all the little boats were sitting in the mud, it was beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOne of the horses were driftwood the other was bronze, very clever . Rod noticed the description or I would have just thought they were both driftwood.

Mevagissey is indeed charming, negotiating the streets that were never designed for cars is challenging. Walking is featuring on the agenda today, a much healthier option anyway.
DeleteYeah what a wonderful place, we drove in from the southern side right into town and then ended up driving back p the same road before having to drive down it again and back into the town, oh what fun! a wonderful, wonderful place.
