THE SECRET...

... to a happy holiday in Cornwall, is to go to bed early. If you do this, you can get up,at the crack of dawn, enabling you to drive to your preferred location for the day ahead of the hundreds of other tourists who want to share the holiday with you. We've done well so far. We were in Padstow before 9.30 and the main car park was pretty full, but the village itself was relatively quiet and really pleasant. Walking along the cliffs was an absolute joy and, when we reached a hidden expanse of beach that we had pretty much to ourselves, our delight was complete. We drove back over Bodmin Moor in hopes of seeing Ross Poldark, but were disappointed on that front.
