Cornwall Highlights

Our time in Cornwall traveling with my aunt Sue took us well off the beaten track, visiting places where she had connections. One of our stops was at Waterperry where Sue attended horticultural college. Here’s a photograph of the church of St. Mary the Virgin at Waterperry. Inside the church is a plaque listing of vicars of the church going back to 1235. We also visited the beautiful Sherborne Abbey. Like Sherborne Abbey, many churches house shrines and reliquaries.

We spent several days in the town of Kilkhampton. Much of our travels involved riding in a car with the view hemmed in by stone walls and hedgerows. Our time in Kilkhampton afforded me the opportunity to wander around on foot with my camera. I was fascinated by the Parish Church of St. James the Great and also by the stone buildings and the treelined lanes.

At one point in my wanderings, I was able to find a view of the rolling hills as the sun was about to set. Our adventures also took us to the fishing town of Mevagissey. The tide was out and the boats were sitting on the bottom.

And while exploring Kilkhampton, I was intent on capturing an images of a stream passing through the woods. More photos are available in an online gallery.
