It took a long time to get in gear today. I am too old to be out until stupid o'clock in the morning and getting little sleep. Once on the go, we headed down to the Lizard and the Lizard Peninsula. It is the most southerly point of England and is about 20 minutes from here. Another beautiful place. It once again feels like the end of the world, overlooking the Atlantic ocean.
We took a short drive through Porthleven which is about 8 minutes from here and it is also on the coast. Very neat little town. We'll definitely be back to check it out and take pictures. Porthleven is very popular with surfers. Apparently, we will be doing a learn to surf day this summer. I'm scared already!
Just before Porthleven is a small area called The Loe which leads to Loe Pool which is Cornwall's largest fresh water lake. http://www.westcountrywalks.com/wcornwall/southcoast/loepool/loepool-01.php Keith and I walked some of the foot path until we reached a small beach (as seen in the pictures). We thought this was Loe Pool at the time. I am now learning, by reading the article in the above link, that it is further and much more impressive. This will be another returning point to discover.
There is no shortage of natural beauty here - between the richest green of trees, rolling hills and fields, the mass variety of colorful flowers I've never seen before, the rugged coast lines and of course the Atlantic Ocean. The pictures I take will never do the scenery justice. You have to visit and see for yourself just how amazingly beautiful it is here.
