Cornwall is quaintly beautiful.

I haven't spent a lot of time documenting the short time I had to visit England but I intend to keep up with posting about it for completeness. Most people spend a lot of time around the usual places, mostly around London, but I prefer to venture further out into the countryside and see the more traditional English points of interest, especially those with a long history and closer to nature.

Driving towards Cornwall was a long journey from London and it involved leaving very early in the morning. The coach was ready to leave at 6:00am so you can imagine the wake up time was even earlier. Not being a morning person, I was still very excited to set off on this trip because as much as London showing its own character, I was getting very tired of city life and really need pastures new.

On the way to Isaac port, we stopped by the Tintagel castle interestingly it has some inscription in something I don't understand, perhaps this was the early Medieval English.

You don't have to be a geographer to appreciate the stunning landscapes here. Incredible rock formations, searing through the deep blue sea, with a healthy top of grass showing the boundaries of land and water.

You can see some of the ships of the port from this side of the bay. From this perspective, the grass on the land above seems more lush.

Here you can see some of the coastal erosion forming some extended stacks of rocks sticking out into the sea from the mainland.

The quaint towns and villages have a beautiful view of the sea. Many of the materials used to build these houses such as limestone, come from the coast themselves.

A population of just a few hundred means that there are still some children who need some recreational play ground space.

Anything by the sea means abundance of sea-food. Oysters, lobsters and fish are all plentiful and fresh.

Before moving on to the next location, we had some time to walk through the tiny village, and I thought what a wonderful and peaceful life people here must have. This house with it's balcony overlooks the coastline and I imagine it would be very ideal for creative people who want peace and quiet to allow for deep thoughts.
