Lands End

The cockerel at Roskillys farm woke us at a sensible time, after 7:00am, so that we could be on our way to Lands End with time for diversions.

The first hop took us past Goonhilly Downs satellite station to a Poldark film location at Church Cove. We sheltered from a shower for 15mins at the café before the short walk from the NT car park to the tiny church and sandy cove that was used for a ship wreck scene.

Next stop was Portleven, a pretty working harbour that is also home to several gourmet restaurants including a Rick Stein. We chose the Square, no 5 on Trip Advisor list, Rick's is no 15! We enjoyed an excellent 2 course lunch for £17pp before walking back up the hill to where we left the van. Portleven seems too popular for the amount of parking available.

Next stop was a photo opportunity at St Michael's Mount. We got a good reduction at the beach car park for a quick stop, Motor Homes are normally £8 per day.

Only one more stop at a Sainsbury's just outside Penzance and we were at Lands End just after 5:30pm. All the entertainment and leisure facilities had already closed so there we just a few sightseers and ourselves to take selfies by the iconic sign post. It showed 874 miles to John o Groats, we had made it.

Just time for a few more photos in the blustery wind before we made our
way to the CCC site at nearby Sennen Cove and sunset photos, before more rain showers arrived.
