Tregonning & Godolphin Hills.
Flotsam & jetsam beach combing Coverack, Cornwall

Even I have to take a day out from my normal schedule of
sculpting or fiddling on internet.
That for me is when my friend (who started out as my disability befriender) usually comes around
once a week. Even my disability assistance
dog ‘Tik’ knows the presence of my friend usually means an extra dog walk. Much wagging of tail.
Last week it was a ‘bimble’ (Navy Jack speak) from Carleen
former Methodist Church, up towards Tregonning hill, along footpath via a ripening
maize corn field, past Tregonning Farm, up & around the shoulder of Tregonning hill, down ‘Polly
Granny Lane’ (Isn’t that just the
best name for a road?).

Then up Bal Lane to the ‘Great Works’, an abandoned tin mine
& one remaining engine house, then down around the shoulder of Godolphin Hill,
on down to the National Trust Godolphin house.

A well-earned cafeteria of coffee at Godolphin House NT cafe,
then back through Godolphin village, down an (un-sign posted) public footpath to
yet another former tin mine engine house. Another unmarked footpath back up through
Polladras to village of Carleen.

Well that was last week.
This week we went to Coverak, Cornwall, UK.

(i) Because the sensible people of Coverack do NOT have exorbitant Cornwall
Council car-park charges, instead there are several small Parish council car-parks with (strong box) honesty boxes for
parking payment, which goes to local charities.
(ii) Dogs (at
least well behave dogs) are most welcome on Coverack beach
(iii) This Cornish fishing village is just ‘so’ damn
pretty!
(iv) There is a less visited small cove accessible by
scrabbling over rocks
(v) The flotsam & jetsam in this small cove is
always worth a look (Err, at least it was in 1977 when I was last there!)
(vi) There is a good place to stop for coffee &
cake on the way home at Roskilly’s Farm (where well behaved dogs are also welcome)
So that’s what I did today, taking a day off from my sculpting.
Well almost, as I did get more sculpting materials in form of driftwood & broken fishing buoys.
Ok...So it's called 'Granny Polly Lane'!
ReplyDeleteIt's still a GREAT name though, almost as good as my favorite ='Squeeze Guts Alley' in Truro, Cornwall.
Squeeze Guts Alley, it just sounds so Harry Potter-esque.
