Cornwall Holiday May 2002 - page 3
On the final page of our touring in Cornwall we visited
Truro and later enjoyed an excellent pub meal in Bodmin, and while in
this part of Cornwall we just had to check out the famous Cornish
surfing town of Newquay and its Towan and Fistral beaches.
This is page three of three.

On the Sunday in Cornwall we originally went to St. Austell but found
it completely dead so headed to Truro instead. This proved a good
decision as we found a pub where we enjoyed a tasty roast lunch.
|
Our local pub was the Borough Arms, just outside Bodmin so we headed
there for a meal one evening. Belinda had the Fillet Steak and
Mike choose the Steak and Kidney Pie, both delicious!
|
|
It was a Sunday evening and the Borough Arms was quite busy when we
arrived, we hadn't booked but they found us a table and the service was
excellent. The pub also had a carvery available. Mmm,
yum! The pub's website is in our tourist resources.
|
On our last day in Cornwall we visited Newquay, the largest Cornish
resort and the surfing capital of the UK with several sandy surfing
beaches. Mike wasn't interested in all that, he just wanted to
know where the beach babes were!
|
|
Here's a view of the South West Coast Path as it leads into Newquay,
looking towards the town's main Towan beach; other beaches include
Fistral beach where the surfing contests take place. Now, which
one do the beach babes hang out at?
|
Another day in Cornwall, another pub, another meal. What are we
like! Here we had a simply gorgeous view over Newquay's Towan
beach, you know the one, famous for beach babes, er sorry, surfer
dudes. While we enjoyed our lunch...
|
|
...this Cornish Gull arrived at the window and watched us eating for a
good 10 minutes before giving up! We're sure the greedy guy
would've had our chips away if it hadn't been for the glass between us.
|
Following our lovely meal we walked down to Towan beach. You
can just see Newquay harbour in the background, which used to export
the local Cornish china clay and ore brought in by railway.
Belinda...
|
|
...was happy spotting this surfer dude on the beach at Newquay, but
Mike still hadn't found any Newquay beach babes! There were
several groups of surfers on the beach doing what surfers do, er,
surfing.
|
The main Towan beach at Newquay was quite busy for a Monday afternoon
in late May, so maybe it'll be packed with beach babes in high
summer. We'll just have to return then. We found a nice
café...
|
|
...and sat in the Newquay sun for a while with a cup of tea,
overlooking the beach. This last day of our Cornwall holiday was
certainly the best all week for sunshine. Check out our Cornwall holiday video clips.
|
On leaving Newquay we stopped to admire this view of the rugged north
Cornwall coast. Fistral beach, where all the surfing competitions
are held, is just the other side of that headland jutting out.
