I had hopes of finding a house where my great great grandfather had lived or maybe a grave sight but getting to Lostwithiel, Cornwall without a car and without any idea where to start forced me to skip that. In fact I was quite surprised when the train stopped at the station as I did not know the train went there but whilst it stopped, the doors did not open.
So I decided to head to Penzance, the largest town in this far end of Cornwall. There is a famous signpost at Land’s End, the westernmost part of England, (Ardnamuchan in Scotland, where I’ve been twice, is the most western part of Britain) but in the off season the bus runs infrequently so I bailed on that.
I took a bus to Mousehole which is a ride where one can only admire the skill and courage of the drivers due to the narrow and twisting roads. And then wandered about Penzance for awhile.
Lots of betting parlors and quick loan shops all over the country especially in the lower economic areas.
From the harbour you can see St. Michael’s Mount
Plymouth England is a wee bit bigger than the Massachusetts town of the same name where the first immigrants docked on a rock.
And the amount of bikes at the train station shows how the UK strives for efficient transportation.
