Today involved countless climbs and as many decents through beautiful quiet Cornish lanes. Decending from our lofty 300m high hotel we skirted the south side of Bodmin Moor riding a roller coaster made by it's deep cut river valleys.
Passing through the pretty village of St Neot and crossing a 600 year old bridge were some consolation for plunging from the moor to near sea level before climbing back up.
Our National Trust visit for the day was Lanhydrock House. A late Victorian extravaganza with an astonishing number of rooms related to the kitchen.
The onward journey was back on the NCN 3 with another great bit of Sustrans routing through quiet wooded lanes and through the Eden Project.
Considering how busy Lanhydrock was, the amount of traffic on the small inland roads was very small for school holiday time.
Our B&B was very conveniently situated right on the route and just a short walk into the centre of St Austell where Prezzo produced a poor imitation of Pizza Express.
