SouthWest Trip: Day 2

On day two, we went to the most South West point in England, Land's End. It was super windy but absolutely gorgeous. Then we traveled to St. Micheal's Mount which is an old castle on a tiny island. The island has a causeway which attaches it to the main body of land when the tide goes down. We then sauntered over to Exeter Cathedral where we saw a really old book.

Land's End

Exactly like what it sounds like; the end of England's land in the Southwest.

The owners of the castle still live in here and their children have to cross the causeway when they go to and from school.

SouthWest Trip: Day 1

We spent two days traveling through South West England. On the first day, we visited Glastonbury Cathedral in Glastonbury, went to Tintagel Castle on the coast, and then stayed at a hotel on the Coast in Newquay. The coast was beautiful and it was a surreal day.

Glastonbury Castle
This is a Castle that was built by the Normans but was destroyed during the Dissolution of the Monasteries by King Henry VIII.  It is also the place where it is thought that King Arthur and Guinevere were buried.

Tintagel Castle

Don't be deceived by this first photo. That is not the castle that you see. The castle is a bunch of ruins that was built during the Medieval times. It is thought to be the place where King Arthur was conceived in the Arthurian legends.
