Weekend Away: Land's End

We are lucky enough to have 2 long weekend this month! The beginning and the end of the month. We had planned to spend one in England, and one somewhere in Europe (we'll see how we go on that one, haven't found a cheap enough flight yet though).

 

So for our first adventure, a road trip to Land's End! We started of our day by picking up the hire car (a super cute baby blue Fiat 500!), and heading out of London. We had a lot of driving! We had a motorway lunch, and reached our main (well, only) destination, Tintagel, around 4:30.

 

Tintagel is beautiful. It's a castle ruin from the 12th and 13th century, fabled to be the place where King Arthur was born. The best part is its location... It's on the top of what's essentially a cliff, and the ocean today was sparkly and blue. There's also quite a lot to explore, including a cove and beach (as long as you're there before the tide comes in). We made it just in time!

 

It's even still English Heritage, so it was free! However, by the time we were finished, it was 6pm and it was closed. So we headed to our accommodation, Tredethy House, where we're staying all weekend. It's so lovely, the room is huge! Only odd thing, the bathroom has carpet. Wierd.

 

We drove 5 minutes up the road to the nearest town for a pub dinner. It was amazing. And now, an early night for us before more driving tomorrow.
