Another early start sees us on the road to Land's End, a two hour journey. The weather is beautiful and the scenery stunning. It is a shame that the natural beauty of the place has been marred by the building of 'Land's End Landmark', comprising a small complex of shops, restaurants and other dubious attractions. We spend a little while wandering around the rugged coastline, admiring the views. Of course, we had to have the obligatory photograph taken at the Land's End Signpost and, yes, another Cornish Pasty!
Next stop, St Michael's Mount. We are looking forward to taking Truffles for a run on the beautiful expanse of beach but we are told that a substance has been found which has caused the death of a dog, we are therefore advised not to take him on the beach.
We walk across the beach (minus dog) and along the causeway that leads to St Michael's Mount. On our approach we are advised that they are clearing the island early due to rough sea conditions. We satisfy ourselves with a wander around the lower section of the island and a cup of tea in the cafe.
On the way home, we decide to call in at Crackington Haven. We have passed the signpost many times this week and were curious to explore further. The steep and winding road took us down to a small but beautifully rugged beach. It was totally deserted except for us and the dog. The surf was high and the sunset spectacular. We slipped and tripped over the pebbly foreground, down to a smooth, sandy beach. The rock formations are fascinating, like an upthrust of lava creating rockpools down one side.
