Continuing on our way from Mullion we progressed from Predannack to Lizard. Here is a set of mostly unremarkable holiday snaps that hopefully conveys the beauty of the area and the riot of colours we encountered.

After returning to Nanjizal from near Land’s End we drove up to the disused Botallack (pronounced to rhyme with metallic) Mine, setting for both television versions of Poldark (although, later, we passed the actual Poldark Mine in the car).

Just some pretty pictures along the way – still looking at 25th of May and more to come. If viewing in email, click the post title to click into the images and see them larger.
The walk along the coastal trail yielded a profusion of colour from orange lichen to pink flowers, green algae, and lovely, clear, cyan and blue waters. If viewing in email, click the post title to click into the images and see them larger.
On Thursday 25 May, the penultimate of our walking group tour, we started out from Nanjizal. The horse below (click to see it larger) came right up and started chewing on my shirt, then my jeans and then started nuzzling my backpack. It either was smelling my lunch in there or was merely hoping for some food, I think. The long straight line in the map is us driving from Nanjizal up to Botallack. More about that anon.

The next day (24 May) we drove on to the King Harry Ferry (interestingly it’s driven across the water on a chain) and on to Porth, whence we trailed to the Killigerran Head. If viewing in email, click the post title to click into the images and see them larger.
And, of course, we met more creatures along the way, sheep and seals (If viewing in email, click the post title to click into the images and see them larger).
