Glendurgan Garden

29th October 2008

Glendurgan Gardens are a great way to spend an afternoon.  This is a garden where you wander down trails through stands of English deciduous trees such as oak, lime,sycamore and beech; then into a semitropical zone with its exotic palms, tree ferns and sun lit clearings with exotic ponds.

Even the foxes that guarded the gardens couldn't scare Bob.

You can leave the gardens and head into the cove where discoveries can be made (althoughRob did find that some of the creatures in the rockpools might have thought he was food).  When done down in the cove you can head back up, making sure you that as you stroll through the lush growth you have at go at getting through Glendurgan’s maze of laurel, which was planted in 1833.

Also along the way you’ll find the Giant’s Stride. Great fun for all ages.

it was a long way down

Loe Pool

26th October 2008

A great way to spend the afternoon when you can’t decide if you fancy a walk by the sea or near a lake.

The beach which is a shingle one – seperates the sea and lake like a natural dam.

The freshwater lake entices a huge quantity of birds and is home to several species of fish.

If the day is a stormy one – don’t be put off, the waves are amazing to look at.
