Now i live in Cornwall in the UK , land of Legends , Lore , ghosts and strange happenings . It is also a place of up-most beauty and i love it . There is no-where quite like Cornwall and even Bodmin Moor which is desolate has a haunting beauty of its own . Most of you must of heard of 'Jamaica Inn' by 'Daphne de Maurier' . Jamiacia Inn was built in 1750 as a resting place for the weary traveller . It is on the edge of Bodmin Moor and very isolated and was a place used by Smugglers along the Cornish Coast because of the isolation as well . There are many ghostly stories and legends involving Bodmin Moor and Jamaica Inn , but i think i may save some for nearer to Halloween ! ... A few pictures of Bodmin Moor and Jamacia Inn .
Another place that is special to Cornwall is Tintagel where the legend of King Arthur and the Knights of The round table came from ... Now wheather this legend is true i dont know , but i'm romantic enough to believe it ..Saying King Arthur brings to mind Merlin , Camalot and the Sword in The Stone .. Wouldn't it be nice if we could travel back in time and go to these places and see them as they where many , many years ago , see how they dressed and lived , but mainly we have to rely on stories handed down from generations long gone .. . I hope you like this peek into my beloved Cornwall and the photos , i will add some more ._prefRes.jpg)

The ruins in the photo is Tintagel Castle .
Built right on the cliff edge .. what a truly beautiful place .. As you walk these paths you wonder how many people have walked these same paths before you in a different time ...Take care until next time ..love and hugs Melita xx

ReplyDeleteYour photos are stunning of Cornwall. This has to be one of my favourite places to holiday with my family. Hugs Nicola xx
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastically atmospheric shots. Cornwall is the other end of the south coast from where I live and so very different. though we had smugglers galore. :)
ReplyDeleteWe always have to go to the Castle when we visit Cornwall it's just steeped in so much magic and mystery, always best to go when there's not too many grockles. Love Cornwall, always nip into Trago Mills too, for a spot of 'crafty' shopping!
