A big Poldark tour yesterday including King Edwards Mine Museum. Hidden gem is used often for places but I think this is one. Wait for the machine to get going in video! It's converted to air pressure (?) but would have been steam powered and used to haul the ore up from underground.
Here's Holy Trinity church on Dartmoor, twice ruined by fire. Also known as Buckfastleigh church. The location is a destination for Sherlock Holmes fans. The covered family tomb of Squire Cabell and stories of his evil deeds helped to inspire The Hound of the Baskervilles.
The tomb was very plain, but the stories are colourful. On a sunny day not too spooky at all.
When the map says it's open to all traffic, but the road just disappears. We worked it out later...
Exmoor and Dartmoor
Recent adventures on Exmoor and Dartmoor with Michelle. She researching and writing a book. We got wet we got lost and we got burnt. Actually I never get lost - we just have adventures!
We just made it into St Ives in time to catch Hepworth museum and sculpture garden yesterday. Always a treat every time.
Having fun at Boscawen-Un yesterday
Another day out on The Lizard, where it's starting to feel like home. Cadgwith Cove Inn for lunch and what a pretty village.
Good weather around and about Bodmin Moor this morning
I just met the 'new' owner of Jamaica Inn Allen Jackson. He and his staff have been working hard improving what's on offer there and there are big plans for the future. We had a great meeting discussing me providing tours for them and even discussing the food and the decor. The new kitchen is astonishing. Huge modern and VERY clean. Will be going back one evening soon to try the evening ambiance and Nick will try the beer.
A rainy day in Cornwall better than a dry day in the office
