I have spent the last few days in wonderful Cornwall, exploring some of the beautiful railway branch lines and the towns and villages they serve. The main reason for visiting was to get some material for my “other” blog, The Station Master, and I will be writing it up there in the coming days and weeks. However, there are other stories to tell which fit better here than over there, so I will write up some stuff here too, beginning with my trip to Land’s End on Thursday afternoon.
I had spent much of the day in St Ives. It’s a lovely place, but on an overcast day out of season there’s not a terribly large amount to do, so I planned a second trip to finish the day off. I had an urge to go to Land’s End, the most westerly point in the UK. I couldn’t come to Cornwall, reach Penzance and then not go the final few miles to Land’s End, could I?
