I haven't blogged in forever, have I? Here's a long overdue post about my recent holiday to Cornwall. I stayed for one week in the North of Cornwall, in a tiny little cottage right on the coast, we had wonderful sea views from the windows, and it took just a couple of minutes to walk to the cliffs.
We went into Tintagel and visited the castle, built in the 1200s, which is almost entirely in ruins now, but it was supposedly the site of King Arthur's conception. It was right on the top if the cliff, so there were a lot of stairs to climb. :( The views of the sea and countryside from the top were incredible, though!

Also in Tintagel was the Arthurian Centre. The first part of the centre was a room full of paintings of various scenes from the Arthurian legends, where we sat and listened to a reading of the story of King Arthur. There was an amazing throne that I sat in, but the picture my Mum took was blurry. ;-; The next part of the centre was a hall with stained glass windows telling the stories of the Knights of the Round table and other interesting things.

My favourite day of the holiday was a visit to a country house called Lanhydrock. I love looking around country houses, and Lanhydrock was one of the best I've ever seen. There were over fifty rooms available to look at, including servant's quarters and kitchens which is quite unusual for country houses, where the only rooms open are the rooms once inhabited by the family. The gardens were beautiful too, not just formal gardens, but acres and acres of parkland. There was a lovely little church on the grounds, and a tiny cottage in the gardens.
