TINTAGEL & TRURO CATHEDRAL

Today's images are of two very contrasting buildings, on the left is the Post Office at Tintagel in North Cornwall. This is a fine example of old Cornish buildings in the 15th & 16th centuries.Tintagel is also claimed to be the home of King Arthur and the Knights of The Round Table.

The second image is of Truro Cathedral which is set in the heart of of the city centre. By comparisons Truro is a small city, but is still a very busy place where there is a good selection of shops,and also some fine pubs and restaurants catering for all tastes.

ALE & HEARTY

Well its the weekend and this is the time for a lot of people to forget the daily toil, and enjoy a couple of days relaxation.

So tonight I thought it would be nice to show a couple of typical Cornish Ale houses, or Pubs as their known. The first pic is of the Wheel Inn at Tresillian on the main road between the City of Truro and St Austell. It was very difficult to photograph because of the busy main road, but made up for it with a nice Pint and Pub Lunch.

Picture two shows the Fox & Hounds at Comford on the main road between Redruth & Falmouth and about 1/2 km from my home.

Again very good ale with an excellent Restaurant voted Cornish pub of the year 2008.
