Places to visit: Cornwall

I always try to get down to beautiful Cornwall at least once a year.  This is the view from Watergate Bay, one of my favourite beaches situated just outside Newquay.   We like to surf and barbecue here.



We eat at The Beach Hut.  Its a very sweet little places, lots of character and charm.  We always make sure there is time to have a cream tea here.  


This time we had breakfast at Jamie Oliver's fifteen, which also overlooks Watergate Bay.  Food was absolutely gorgeous, I could fault it.  They managed to turn a standard fry up, into something pretty spectacular to be honest.

 
Had to make a pit stop at Macdonalds for dad and Jack to get their Wifi fix


One of the highlights of the trip was visiting the Minack Theatre near Penzance.  This is something really unique to Cornwall.   Its an open air theatre, carved into the side of the Cornish cliffs, with views across the sea.  Food and drink is available, however we prefer to take our own picnic.  We also take blankets to keep warm.  The visitors behind us had a great idea, they brought bottles of bubbly and gourmet treats. 

 





During the performance, the sun sets over the ocean.  Perfect!


Shows are normally on between April and September.  We watched Peter Pan performed by the students at Central School of Speech and Drama, University of London.  They did an amazing job.
