Head over the border to Cornwall. Strange to think that in a week I'll be at the complete opposite end of England.Never been to Tintagel before and find it's a bit like Glastonbury - full of Arthurian legend filled giftshops and crystals - but with slightly fewer nutters and more surf shops. It's a lovely little place on the stunning Cornish coastline - a nice blend of places, a little off the beaten track and I like it.
Wander around the ruins of the castle and head off to the parish church. I always seek out the war memorial in these places. I remain constantly amazed at how a small and remote place such as this still sustained a large amount of losses during the First World War - over 30 names are listed on the memorial for this small parish.
Stop off at Bude on the way back before retreating over the border, leaving the Cornish flags behind.
