A Week In Cornwall

We went to Cornwall for a week in August a few years ago. We stayed in St. Ives in a two bedroom bungalow on a camp site surrounded by woodland and fields. My children loved it there. They could play outside with other children staying there whilst we sat and relaxed.

We drove to our destination. We left at six in the morning and stopped for breakfast onlong our way. Then we drove as long as we could to get there and then stopping a few times for a break. It was a long drive, especially when you have young children in the car and it can get too boring for them. The views on the scenic roads are wonderful to look at so we stopped for ice cream and sat outside eating it and watching the view.

The weather wasn't brilliant, but we still went out every day. The main thing was it didn't rain. We visited Land's End in Penzance on a very windy day for August. I can remember crossing the bridge over Land's End and it being so windy that the bridge was shaking. This bridge was like swing decking with nets on either side holding it up. I didn't like it, but the kids did. They thought it was interesting and exciting. Of course, some kids like a thrill of enjoyment when holiday.

From Penzance Harbour boats go to the Isles of Scilly. We could have done this, but we decided not to because the weather was too windy and cold.

Penzance is a historical town. Chapel Street is the most historic and it dates all the back to the 1800's. If you ever go to Cornwall walk down this street.

We, also, visited St. Ives Museum. There we saw interesting exhibits on wrecking. Apparantly, many years ago artists would go to St. Ives to paint and now they are shown in this museum.

The last few days the sun came out, so we went to the beach. The beaches in Cornwall are beautiful. The only problem is not enough sun. There is alot surfing at the beaches in Cornwall too.

We visited St. Ives Harbour where we sat for a while eating ice cream again.

Overall, I would recommend Cornwall for a holiday for anyone. There is so much to see and do. If you enjoy history then this is the place to go to.
