Day One (Thursday)
Thursday evening in Cornwall, after a wet afternoon the
skies cleared so where else can you go for dinner than The Pandora Inn at
Restronguet. First we visited Flushing for a view across the Carrick Roads to Falmouth.
Sign on a wall – unfortunately I didn’t take a picture of
the wall!
My kind of doorway…not to everyone’s taste however.
Good to see gigs still being rowed.
A pint of Tribute on the pontoon at The Pandora Inn –
Heaven.
A few views from the pontoon, first a steam boat…
,,,,paddle boarding…..
& a herring gull
looking for an easy meal.
Looking back on our favorite Inn in Cornwall and one of our all time favorites anywhere
After a very good fish pie we went to Mylor Quay and Mylor
Churchtown on the Mylor Creek – a yachtsman’s paradise
A walk around the headland gave a view in the far distance
of the Henry VIII's coastal fortresses,
Pendennis Castle at Falmouth.
St Mylor Church
The present church is of Norman origin c. 1100AD. However
the church was founded over 1500 years ago by St Mylor
The cross in the churchyard is the largest in
Cornwall (10 ft high). The cross was only identified as such in 1870 as it
had been buried head downwards in the earth so that the part above ground could
serve as a post. The stone is 17 ft 6 in long.
