Off

A last minute decision to take a break at Fistral Blue led to us arriving unprepared for an evening meal but Teryaki Chicken and Moules Frittes at The Lewinnick were just the ticket. The gull dawn chorus woke us up in time for a quiet stroll across the bay to The Beached Lamb for brunch and mooch around Newquay. What a change from the storms of last winter – the surf’s up and the surf schools out in force.

We then discovered a new walk up behind the apartment and across the beautiful Gannel estuary and around the corner into Crantock – a beautiful stretch of sandy beach. A quick power wash of the terrace and a visit to Padstow for real Cornish scones, clotted cream and saffron buns from Chough Bakery to take home.

Then stop off on the way home to have something to eat at Jamaica Inn on Bodmin Moor ahead of the new TV series which starts shortly and we are back again planning our next visit.
