Do We Have To Go Abroad To Go On Holiday?

I recently spent a fabulous week away in small village in Cornwall called Polperro. Polperro is a small fishing village on the south coast. With a fairly central location it was the perfect base for a week of exploration and walks with the dog!

Cornwall has some fabulous beaches and some great walking opportunities or we could veg away in our cosy holiday cottage. Then wondered around the village trying out the many pubs along the way. Dogs welcome in all!!

We took some small boat rides from Polperro into the neighbouring town of Looe. With a huge beach, great shopping opportunities and a Cornish Pasty lovers heaven.

One of the days we drove to Wadebridge on the north coast (only around a 40 minute drive) and intercepted the Camel Trail. The Camel Trail is a dedicated cycle route from Bodmin to Padstow, running over the hills and down from Wadebridge along the coast into Padstow. We hired some bikes from one of the many hire shops and took the “flat” part into Padstow only a distance of around five and a half miles where we sampled some of Rick Stien’s fish & chips. Padstow is a lovely town with again many shops of differing styles and offerings. Plus you can visit one of Rick Stein’s establishments.

Our main aim for the week was to chill out and that is all we did. The UK has many amazing destinations to offer. So if you are thinking about getting away without having to go to the airport, then give me a call or drop me a message.
