Cornwall 2008

In early March and again in mid April I spent a few days in Cornwall. I managed a couple of walks and a garden visit…

Tree ferns at Tregothnan

Rhododendrons, Camellias and Azaleas abounded at Tregothnan

A superb specimen of a cork oak

The lime tree avenue with its carpet of primroses and bluebells

The view along an avenue of palm trees

The weather was not good, but the canopy of the Monkey Puzzle looked like good shelter

Some palm trees had probably been here a while

Nice seascape shots – I like Cornwall and plan to be down there 21 – 25 April with a visit to Eden probably on 23 April

Thanks Mike. Hope you have a good trip – I had such a nice time I am going back again for a long weekend in April, though on my way back and you are travelling down.
