Happy travellers and a puzzle, too!

Funnily enough Martin I had a vague thought that it was The Garden House, but realised the cars would not have been so close.  I am ashamed to say that we have never got to Rosemoor.  It looks well worth a visit Luit (especially as there are some Eucomis ).  I liked the Hydrangea paniculata Grandiflora, sadly ours succumbed to the last winter, so will have to source another

......always lots to see at Rosemoor whatever the season.

We did not only visit houses and gardens, but tried to see some of the landscape too.

A very picturesque little coastal town is St. Ives, but hard to find a parking place there and
after finding one and make a walk into town, we found a totally overcrowded place, despite being October.

You have visited a lot of nice places Luit.... your Odyssee has given me lots of inspiration for future more elaborate "hops"...

Thanks for sharing !

Luc, whenever you go to Cornwall, don't make the same mistake as we did. It is coastal but totally different from our coasts and the interesting places are mostly down by the sea with very narrow roads between the buildings and no room for parkings and the distributor roads are up the hills.  

Another much visited place in Cornwall is Mousehole. But it's more a mousetrap, as we drove into it and came to a
small little beach and before we knew we drove into a parking place where we had to pay several sterling
for the whole day. In an hour we had seen most of the place and we were not the only persons who
made this mistake. Again, outside of the village was a cheaper parking place but a walk downwards and up after
seeing the place was no option for me

Lostwithiel in Cornwall is a nice little town too and with it's old Roman  Norman Bridge certainly worth a visit.

We were told to visit the small coastal town Fowey too, but as we drove into the town
through very narrow streets we ended up at the ferry but there were no parking places.
The options were to turn or take the ferry. As it started to rain we decided to take the ferry and look from the other side of the river
back to Fowey and make some pictures.
On the other side there was not other option than drive up the hill in the queue and no possibility to make a stopp at all.

Well, we learned a lot about sightseeing in Cornwall and know now that the only way to see more
is use a whole day for one interesting place and do it without the car 
Here 2 pictures of a house and garden we visited on that same day??

St. Ives   

I was in St Ives in October as well.  St Ives is popular all year round, but being one of the most important of the arts colonies many people visit during the autumn so it can get busy.

Typo I think Luit, the bridge is Norman (the ones who clobbered us in 1066!) the Romans clobbered us about 5/600 years earlier

The castle was rebuilt in the late 13th century by Edmund, Earl of Cornwall, who was also responsible for building the Great Hall, the bridge and the square church tower.

Indeed David, a Typo    Good that I showed the second picture then. There it's described very clearly 

Corrected just now!
