Holiday - Day 3 Marizion, Trengwainton, Trevarno

Sunday 10 April was another glorious day.  We drove to Marizion and walked along the footpath/cyclepath at the top of the beach first towards Penzance  and then we turned round and walked to the causeway to St Michel's Mount. This must be the easiest section of South West Coast path, with wonderful views all the time.



 It was high tide so we did not go across to the island.  As we walked towards Penzance we came to a free car park (Long Stone?).  When we come back again we must use this car park.

We then drove to the outskirts of Penzance to Trenwainton Gardens (NT).  This was quite a crowded garden, with lots of brightly coloured azelias.




On the way back to Mullion we stopped at Trevarno Gardens.  This was a lovely spacious garden with all sorts of beautiful sights.


Trevarno has the national collection of daffodils and we visited the daffodil trial fields.

 In the restaurant there was a display of all different varieties of daffodils.


Beyond the daffodil field were reindeer and a rail track being restored.


We walked back through woodland where bluebells were just coming out.  This wood will look stunning when the bluebells are all out.


We stopped for a cup of tea in the restaurant and a robin was hopping around everywhere. Apparently it was nesting in the wall of the restaurant.


As we ate our cake a peahen was very interested and hoping for some food.  He would not  leave us alone.
