After spending a thoroughly relaxing couple of days in my castle accomodation in St Ives it was time to spend some more time exploring.
St Ives itself is gorgeous but as it was British school holidays it was more than a little crowded with everyone jockying for position on the beaches.
Lands End was really tacky, you had to pay 9 pounds 50 pence for a photo of the signpost so I settled for a picture of me just about getting blown away without the signposts for the cost of zilch.
I then headed for the Minack Theatre which was built by a lady entirely out of concrete perched on a cliff face, quite an extradionary feat.
By going down the most narrowest of lanes I had experienced this far I arrived at Cape Campbell much more what I thought Lands End would be like, windswept isolated and totally gorgeous I had an interesting chat here with the local coast guard about what they had seen during there times of patrolling.

St Michael's Mount in Marazion is beautiful you can reach it by boat at high tide or by a narrow causeway at low tide, unfortunately I arrived at high tide so had to go by ferry it was a really quick trip and you can see how shallow it was (less than a metre) beautiful views from the top of the whole of Penzance bay.
Lastly on my marathon couple of days I visited Falmouth and went for a wander around Pendennis Castle which was invaded by Pirates telling tales of bloodshed and victories to all the children's delight!
