Places in beautiful Cornwall

Holiday memories through 30+ years

Introduction. I experienced the wonderful Cornish landscapes for the first time on a hiking trip at Easter 1977. Later this year my friends Chris and Barbara Timms moved to Cornwall, and since then I have enjoyed visiting them a number of times, and we have taken a lot of wonderful excursions together around Cornwall.
When completed, this section of my website will contain a collection of photographs and memories from all these visits, showing both the rugged and the gentle nature of Cornwall, it's picturesque towns and villages, and also the interesting relics from a more industrialized past.
