Three go Mad in Cornwall!







Visiting Boscastle was next on our list. Small and charming this village suffered terribly back in August 2004 due to a flood. On many of the shops you can see markers of where the water rose up to, going way over our heads it was clear much damage had been done.


Gary and I knew what to expect when we came across the Witchcraft Museum so it was Alex who was sent in to see for himself. Twenty minutes later he came out declaring it odd as it was full of shrunken heads and stuffed cats. The shock of this called for icecream and cappuccino as nerves had to be calmed!

The legend of King Arthur is a huge selling point when it comes to visiting the various gift shops

i've never seen so many things to buy all on the back of an ancient knight.

Tintagel nearby is the same, stories of old bring in the tourists, thought it a bit much charging an entry fee to see the castle when in fact if you look up you can see it anyway. But thats me being a tight cow. As usual I acted the typical tourist clicking away at everything, Cornwall is so pretty i just cant help it so sod it.
