Holiday - Day 4 Godrevy Head, Eden Project, Gribben Head

Monday 11 April started cloudy.  We pack up and started to head home.  We decided to go via St Ives Bay and so drove to the north coast of Cornwall to Godrevy Head (NT).  As we got near it became misty and drizzly and the visibility was poor.  We parked looking out to sea, but we could not see far.  But by the time we had had our coffee the mist lifted and we were able to go for a short walk.

For a while we could see the 6 headlands in one direction and Godrevy Island with its lighthouse.  But after about 20 minutes the cloud descended and all this disappeared.  The coast around here had looked spectacular with sandy beaches so we will have to come back when the weather is better.

We drove on, planning to stop at Perranporth to do more of the South West Coast path, but the visibility was so bad we continued east and instead went to the Eden Project.

The Mediterranean Dome had a wonderful display of bulbs.

On the outside there was a mass of mimosa and lovely display of heather.

By the time we had finished at the Eden Project the sun was shining again so we headed to the south coast to do some more of the South West Coast Path.  We went to Fowey and parked in a National Trust car park at Church Farm on the outskirts of the town.  We walked down to the beach at Polridmouth and then up the hill to Gribben Head.  The views were wonderful in both directions and worth making the climb to the top.
