"конец света" - LANDS END
Выглянуло солнышко, зацвели цветочки...холидеи-отпуски заставляют выбрать на работе...мы с мужем думаем куда и когда...
Думали-думали...читали...смотрели...
И решили, что когда "солнышко и цветочки" нет уже смысла куда то "за границы" - на материк ехать, а тем более лететь.
Правда и отпуска не чувствуется, когда тут - на острове...но смысл таки есть.
Решили надо на "конец света" поехать и всё по дороге и вокруг.
5 лет назад последний раз там "бегом" пробегали...всё не видели.
Martin Clunes television show Doc Martin causes village uproar
Residents of a Cornish fishing village are in revolt against its use as a location for the filming of the television comedy drama Doc Martin.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/celebritynews/2551641/Martin-Clunes-television-show-Doc-Martin-causes-village-uproar.html
Деревня Порт Исаак (Порт Айзек?) была использована в качестве места для вымышленного города "Portwenn» в сериале ITV, Доктор Мартин, в котором Мартин Clunes исполнил главную роль - сварливый семейный доктор.
Жители Порт Исаака заявляли, что съемки Доктора Мартина должны быть запрещены в деревне, потому что сьёмки фильма помешают туристическому бизнесу и вызовут столпотворение и пробки на узких улицах деревни.
Port Isaac
Port Isaac has been an attractive fishing village since the early fourteenth century. Its narrow, winding streets are lined with old white-washed cottages and traditional granite, slate-fronted Cornish houses, many of which are listed as of architectural or historic importance. From the Middle Ages until the middle of the 19th century, Port Isaac was a busy port handling various imports and exports, including coal, timber, pottery and Delabole slate. In fact the name Port Isaac is derived from the Cornish Porth Izzick meaning the 'corn port'. After the advent of the railways, it became principally a fishing port. A stream runs through the village, finding its way into the sea over the harbour wall.
Милая и спокойная рыбацкая деревушка, пропахшая морем и рыбой!
================================================================================================
Land’s End is the extreme westerly point of mainland England and is often used as a starting point for races, walks, and holidays.
Cornwall is one of the major holiday areas in England attracting more than 10 million visitors a year. At the peak of the season there are over 400,000 visitors to county adding more than 50% to the all year population.
There are more than 80,000 cows in Cornwall. No wonder they are famous for their cream.
The Cornish pasty was first made for Cornish miners. It is traditionally half savory and half sweet. The miners held them on the crust, eating everything around it and then threw the crust away. This wasn’t because they didn’t like the crust but to avoid eating the poisonous chemicals which were covered on their hands from mining.
The pasty is, and always shall be associated with Cornwall. It holds a special place in Cornish culture.
For many people the pasty is the greatest symbol of Cornwall.
When the Cornish Rugby team plays an important match, a giant Cornish pasty is symbolically hoisted over the bar before the start of the game. It is a tradition that dates back to 1908, and the original giant pasty is still used to this day.
The world record for the largest Cornish pasty was made in August 2010 by a team of bakers from Bodmin, Cornwall. It weighed 1900lbs, contained approximately 360lbs of beef, 180lbs of swede, 100lbs of potatoes, and 75lbs of onions. It took 11 hours to cook and had a staggering 1,750,000 calories.
Mighty meaty: The world's biggest Cornish pasty.

Cornwall has the longest coastline in Great Britain; it measures 697km.
The name Cornwall comes from “Cornovii” meaning hill dwellers and “Waelas” meaning strangers.
Did you know that 7,000,000,000,000,000 grains of sand lie on Perranporth Beach on the north coast of Cornwall.
China clay was discovered in Cornwall by William Cooksworthy in 1974. It is now Cornwall’s largest export (other than the pasty).
Cornwall has its own language called Kernowek. It is a Brythonic Celtic language and recognised as a minority language in the UK.
Cornwall and Devon are famous for their cream teas. In Cornwall, the cream tea was traditionally served with a “Cornish split”, a type of slightly sweet white bread roll, rather than a scone. It is now rare to find this available commercially, even in Cornwall, although splits are still used by many Cornish families in their own homes. The Cornish method is: the warm roll (or scone) is first buttered, then spread with strawberry jam, and finally topped with a spoonful of clotted cream. Yum Yum!
The Duchess of Cornwall is the title held by the wife of the Duke of Cornwall. The Duke of Cornwall title is held by the British Sovereign’s eldest son and heir. The current Duchess of Cornwall is Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, since her 9 April 2005 marriage to Charles, Prince of Wales. Prior to their marriage, the title was normally used only in Cornwall since customarily the Sovereign’s eldest son and heir is created Prince of Wales and his wife is styled the Princess of Wales. Camilla is legally entitled to the title Princess of Wales, but chooses to use Duchess of Cornwall out of respect for the late Diana, Princess of Wales, Charles’s first wife.
Fisherman in Cornwall can catch over forty different types of fish, more varieties than everywhere in Britain.
During the summer, the A30 carries around 30,000 cars a day.
No one goes to prison in Cornwall because there isn’t one. The only prison, Bodmin Jail, closed in 1922.
Anyone living in Cornwall may experience a recordable crime just once every fifteen years. It could take up to fifty three years to be stopped by a police officer.
The Minack Theatre is Cornwall’s largest outdoor theatre. Rowena Cade designed, constructed and financed the theatre built by hand out of the rock face.
Eden’s largest biome is fifty meters high, big enough to house the Tower of London. The scaffolding structure used to build it went into the Guiness Book of Records as the largest ever freestanding scaffold structure in the world. The 46,000 poles would have stretched end to end for 230 miles (almost to London).
Artists have been coming to Cornwall for over two hundred years. They love the landscape and quality of light which is much brighter than other parts of Great Britain. The most painted scene in Cornwall is the view of St Micheal’s Mount.
Conwall’s most mysterious creature is the ‘Beast of Bodmin’ which is found on Bodmin Moor.
The most ancient walk in Cornwall is the ‘Saints Way’ or ‘Forth an Syns’ in Cornish.
Cornwall’s black and white flag is the banner of St Piran. The white line between the black represents white lines of tin between dark molten rocks.
Cornwall has its own series of tartan. The different colours represent different parts of Cornish history.
Cornwall’s national anthem is ‘Trelawny’. It’s often performed by Cornwall’s male voice choirs.
Cornwall has a history of cider making. The Cornish Cyder Farm is the largest cider maker and the only distiller.
Cornwall has the longest coastline in Great Britain; 697km of the total 18,185km British coast.
There are over 200 surf-related businesses in Cornwall. The UK surf industry is worth £200 million, £21 million of that is generated in Cornwall.
Cornwall is home to the world’s first eco-surfboard.
Cornwall boasts the largest collection of plant species in the British Isles.
In the 1900’s Cornwall mined half of the world’s tin, it was the largest enterprise in Europe.
The Duke of Cornwall, Prince Charles, looks after 54,764 hectares of land across 22 counties in Great Britain, just 7,138 of them are in Cornwall.
Records state that 1,200 years ago. Cornish was spoken by 40,000 people and could be heard as far as Exeter.
The first ever wind turbine was constructed in Redruth in 1892 and Britain’s first ever wind farm opened in Delabole in 1991.

Classic Cornish pasty

The Cornish are completely cut off from the rest of the UK by the Tamar River, which forms the border between Devon and Cornwall. The 50-mile long waterway starts four miles from Bude on the Cornwall coast, and reaches the sea at Plymouth Sound in south west Devon.
SAINTLY SURROUNDINGS
Not content with one, Cornwall has three patron saints. There’s Saint Piran, the patron saint of tin miners (he discovered tin), who is celebrated on Saint Piran’s Day on March 5.
There’s also Saint Michael, who is associated with Saint Michael’s Mount, 400 yards off the Cornwall coast. Saint Michael the Archangel is said to have appeared before fishermen in the fifth century AD.
Finally, there’s Saint Petroc, a fifth century British prince and Christian saint who is associated with the Cornish town of Padstow.
Trerice Manor - one of the most famous haunted homes in Cornwall.
(Kestle Mill, near Newquay)
The spooky story goes that the original 16th century owner Lord Arundell, nicknamed the ‘wicked lord’ in neighbouring villages, discarded a servant girl when he discovered he had made her pregnant. She committed suicide and returned to haunt the house, leaving behind a distinctive smell of lilac after visits.
In the 19th century the north wing of the old house was pulled down because the owners were too scared to live in it, and the remaining personal possessions of Arundell were burnt.
However it seems that didn’t halt the hauntings. During works in the 1980s builders reported doors opening by themselves and the sound of long skirts swishing along the floorboards!
Today the property is owned by the National Trust and Trerice remains little-changed from the days of its early owners.

Lost Gardens of Heligan
St Austell (23 miles from Trevella Park)
The amazing Lost Gardens of Heligan is a pioneering project to bring back the former glories of Victorian Productive Gardens, formal Pleasure Gardens and a sub-tropical Jungle that were once the pride of this mysterious Cornish estate.
The 200-acre gardens reaches their glorious peak at the end of the 19th century, but only a few years later were left to decline and grow over, with impenetrable brambles and gorse taking hold.
Yet the discovery of a tiny room that once played host to the men and women who tended the gardens with such dedication fired the imagination of a new group who made it their mission to restore the Lost Gardens and tell the stories of those who first made the gardens great.
Today, we can see how the gardens once met almost all the needs of the Tremayne family who owned the estate. The productive gardens have more than 200 varieties of fruit, vegetable, salad and herbs; the Pleasure Grounds are filled with romantic structures and unexpected features, while the luxuriant jungle foliage features exotic plantings and inspiring views, with a raised boardwalk snaking across ponds, past banana plantations and through tunnels of towering bamboo.

На Корнуэльском полуострове в 3х милях от Penzance, где в средние века любили "отдыхать от работы" средневековые пираты, находится St Michael Mount - небольшой замок на острове, куда во время отлива, можно добраться пешком, тесно связанный историей с аналогичным замком в Нормандии.
St Ives - бывшая рыбацкая деревушка выросла в городок, облюбованый художниками и писателями. В доме где жила Дафна Дюморье, которая написала "Ребекку" и это сейчас гестхауз "Cornerways".
В St Ives можно остановиться в Tregenna Castle, этот отель расположен в бывшем замке высоко на холме, откуда открываются фантастические виды.

Tintagel Castle
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tintagel_Castle
Tintagel Castle is one of the most spectacularly beautiful places in the whole of south-west England. It lies on a finger of land projecting into the sea from the flat plateau of North Cornwall - half of the castle is on the mainland, while the other half is reached by crossing a narrow neck of land between two inlets of the sea.
The area has been settled at least since Roman times - pottery and coins at the site suggests that it was a place of some importance, and milestones near by indicate that a Roman road may have run along the northern Cornish coast. It is possible that Tintagel may have been Durocornovium. Following the collapse of Roman rule in Britain, Tintagel may have been a stronghold of the kings or princes of Dumnonia - clearly the ruler here was a man of considerable importance. A larger quantity of luxury goods have been found here than at all the other known 'Dark Age' sites in Western Europe put together.
By the time Richard - Earl of Cornwall (the brother of Henry III) built his castle here, the fortress had become firmly associated with the legend of King Arthur - which may partly explain why the Earl chose to build a castle in a site of no real strategic importance.
