We drove a total of 121 miles today on a day out from the area where we are based, we headed to Lands End. Driving was easy along relatively empty A roads.
It was rather wild and blustery and the wind had a cold edge, trying to take photos was difficult at times as the wind buffeted us.
After leaving Lands End we drove onto Penzance parking on the harbour car park which had plenty of spaces. We had a wander around the town which sadly like many other UK towns seemed a little down at heel. In the centre of the town is a statue to Sir Humphrey Davy, I only knew of him re the miners safety lamp but he was a very productive scientist in many areas.
There is a very large and active harbour at the foot of the town.
As we drove out of Penzance we drove along Western Promenade Road which gave a different impression of the town with some fine buildings.
