It was too good a day weather wise, to pass up the chance of a day out.
We decided to use our National Trust passes and visit Trengwainton Gardens.
Upon arrival, we were disappointed…… it was the only day of the week that the place was shut! Typical…. Anyway the best days are the ones that go to Plan B, so we headed off along the coast and soon arrived at Cape Cornwall.
It was such a lovely day, despite the high winds when we climbed up onto the headland, but, very worth the views.
As we reached the car, we decided to have a gentle drive home up the coast via St Ives. Then we spotted the sign for Botallock.
Paul is fascinated by the mining industry in Cornwall, and so we detoured off the main drag, and down the lanes towards Botallack Mines.
We got some lovely shots of the area, and then hopped back into the car and aimed for St Ives.
We parked up near the Tate and wandered up and down the streets, finally settling at The Hub for a cuppa and some supper.
What a fantastic day! Who needs a plan A when Plan B is even better!

Thank looks like an amazing day out we went to Cape Cornwall rather than Lands End when were staying near Gwithian last year. I wanted to go to Bollallack to take some photos but we never got there, so I have enjoyed looking at yours.
