Camels, Lizards & Seals Posted April 23, 2014

Off

Whilst not staying at the flat over the weekend (it was booked up!), we decided to make the most of the time off work and the fantastic weather in Cornwall. Good Friday brought with it some great weather inspiring us to take a bike ride on the Camel Trail. Ideal for families, this perfectly flat 5.5 mile stretch of disused railway line turned cycle path between Wadebridge and Padstow boasts stunning views of the river. We hired bikes in Wadebridge (Bridge Bike Hire now has free parking), and set off for Padstow – the ride taking about 45 mins. Once there, a browse around the town and a pint of St. Austell Ale’s finest welcomed us before the journey back.

Another glorious day greeted us on Saturday and we made the most of it visiting family and watching Falmouth RFC host touring side Old Dunstonian RFC. We decided to spend the evening in the beautiful harbour town and had a great meal at the Thai Orchid on the Old High Street.

After a quiet Sunday in the rain and a lovely homemade fish pie we decided to get out and about on Easter Monday. We headed down to The Lizard to take in some fresh sea air, walk along the cliff paths and grab a tasty snack at Polpeor Café at Lizard Point. We even saw a seal chilling out by the rocks on the coast path to Kynance!
