We were later than normal for our sixth year running at the NT property "Doyden" at Port Quinn as all September had been booked early. But we were lucky with great weather apart from one day.
The photo above is from our coast walk on the first day. We walk from the house towards Polzeath and end up at the Rumps. In the background is the tiny island of Mouls. We had lunch just above these rocks.
We had never been to St Ives as we thought it was too far. But it was only 50 minutes to Lelant Saltings where we found the park and train ride. This ten minute journey was absolutely beautiful as the train spectacularly hugs the coast high above some wonderful bays. St Ives was great, not too many people and photo opportunity at every turn.
Tuesday was wet so naturally it was bodyboarding time at Polzeath. We had expected it to have stopped raining by the afternoon, but it was still falling lightly when we donned our wetsuits and headed for the sea. There were only two other people in the water but the waves were superb.
Eventually we realised that it was much warmer in the sea than out and we were getting quite cold. So although we were freezing by the time we had changed, it had been worth it. The cafe by the beach stayed open for us to have a welcome mug of tea.
The next day it was back to being sunny and we spent the day at The Lost Gardens of Heligan. We had been twice before, but we always enjoy the visit.
We nearly always save Padstow for our last day. We parked at Rock where we had a walk along the sands of Daymer Bay. Then the ferry over to Padstow and a walk along the cliffs to look back at the estuary. And in a tee shirt in mid October. We have already booked for September next year.
