St. Just Church, Boat Trip, Cider Farm and the Smuggler's Cottage - Cornwall June 2010


St. Just Church, Boat Trip, Cider Farm and the Smuggler's Cottage



Monday 21st June 2010

Really packed a lot in today (it was the longest day after all!) - started with a walk to the picturesque St. Just Church, then took a boat trip from St. Mawes to Truro. From there we picked up our hire care, and drove to Healy's Cider Farm for a look around, and then went on for a very quick visit to the North Coast of Cornwall near St. Agnes. Back from there to the Smuggler's Cottage for Afternoon Tea, before finally returning to the house for dinner.
