A beautiful day today - cold and crisp, with clear blue skies. A day out in North Cornwall seemed like a good plan.Coffee at the slightly strange but beautifully situated Camelot Hotel, on the clifftop at Boscastle. Comfy sofas and nice coffee, with a few choccy biscuits to keep us going.
Headed back into Boscastle village, and ignored the "pay" car parks and parked on the roadside instead (it's amazing how many people don't read the plates which show it's ok to park on the roadside in winter, and pay to park in the car parks instead!). A brisk walk down the steep path to the castle ruins was rewarded with fabulous views of the rugged North Cornwall coast.
Lunch at the Mote Restaurant in the lovely (and mainly unspoilt) fishing village of Port Isaac. Devilled mackerel was delicious - not too boney.
Followed by a nice drive to Polzeath, where the surf was clean and decent, resulting in quite a few hardy surfers in the water. For our part, we stayed firmly on land but did get a bid wet playing "dodge the wave"!
Tea in Rock - thankfully quiet at this time of year - on a sunny terrace overlooking the stunning Camel Estuary. How lucky we are to have all this on our doorstep!
