A short while ago I mentioned that, for a change of scenery, we stayed in a cottage for a week at Poughill (pronounced puffil) on Cornwall's north coast. I've done several posts about the area recently and places we visited such as, Tintagel, Boscastle, Bude and so on.
Often though, in the evenings, we would wander the lanes around Poughill - so here's a flavour of the area. The thatched cottages above were in the heart of the village by St.Olaf's church - but the building below wasn't quite as idyllic!
Still in the main village, a row of cottages ...
Once out of the village, and walking along the nearby lanes, there are distant views of the sea and headland. The photos were taken on different days and at different times.
Green fields in abundance ...
... with a few cottages and houses scattered about.
More sheep with their markings.
Some of the animals have glorious views.
Most were friendly.
And finally the narrow lane leading to the cottage where we stayed - wild garlic everywhere. Was lovely to spend some time on Cornwall's north coast. We live on Cornwall's south coast.
It's a lovely area & so interesting to see the local architecture. The wild garlic is always good to see but don't plant any in your garden as it spreads at an alarming rate.
ReplyDeleteYour photo's certainly promote Cornwall Mike.
Thank you David, staying in the cottage made a nice break - even though it's not that far from where we live on Cornwall's south coast. Visited lots of places and walked a lot.
ReplyDeleteAs for the garlic - as you say looks nice while in flower but it can take over hedgerows - and gardens. Best wishes.
A beautiful little town that must have made for a very relaxing week.
ReplyDeleteLove the animals,they do have quite a view:)
