Calstock

The Tamar Inn, Calstock on a busy afternoon. Interesting junk for sale further up the street.

Calstock viaduct at low tide, and below, in close up, a surprising resident.

the view from Cotehele

 we were very lucky today to be taken up the North tower at Cotehele. The roof is reached via a very narrow steep flight of stone steps, and has a view towards Calstock and far across the Tamar valley. This is the same view as before (see link) but taken from a much higher vantage point and it includes the tudor roof of Cotehele itself.

Calstock Dog shows

the Calstock family dog show. This little lad got a special mention, as did Harriet in the crossbreeds. Poor judging in my opinion.
