Vince has already included a photo of the ferry at St Mary's and Ted has added the helicopters coming into Penzance over St Michael's Mount. As we are arriving in CORNWALL this will be the next leg of our whistle stop tour. We have two days to explore where-ever you would like to visit. Looking foward to seeing lots of photos, experiences, stories, places to see, what to do, where to eat/drink and be merry. I am sure lots of people have holiday memories of CORNWALL, so do please share them with us here Ferry arriving in Penzance  Picture by wayne playford I think we have time to visit St Michael's Mount this evening before we go to sleep (it's a virtual tour we can do anything)!

This thread is really designed to help everyone see what each county has to offer the visitor in the way of attractions, towns, beaches, scenery, unusual places, great central places to stay in, to eat, to do, to see. So please share your photos, experiences, stories, favourites with the rest of us. We have two days in Cornwall (today Saturday and tomorrow) so do add your information quickly before we move on. Can anyone tell us about St Michael's Mount which we virtually visited last night?? Or Truro & Tintagel that I plan to visit today?? Otherwise have a wonderful day, enjoy touring around Cornwall using the LINKS at the top of this page. Have fun |

You can't miss the Truro Cathedral when visiting there. Majestic and promenent as the heart off the town. The Cathedral of the Blessed Virgin Mary, is an Anglican cathedral. It was built in the Gothic Revival architectural style, and is one of only three cathedrals in the United Kingdom with three spires. Construction began in 1880.
