Cornwall Trip- Day 7 part 2: Ok, so I want to take a second and tell you about the UK Landmark Trust. No. You know what, it would take so much more than one second! So I’m gonna sum it up by saying The Landmark Trust is freaking rad. They buy up old abandoned buildings, refurbish them, and let you rent them for the night (among many other great things they do, obviously.) So we stayed at Arra Venton- a structure of 3 cottages tied together, built sometime in the 1600s- possibly late 1500s. WILD to get to stay in something that old. The view out the front door was of green rolling hills, and the view out the back window was the ocean. Not too shabby. After talking with others folks staying in similar Landmark Trust sites, we discovered that they are kind of like Pokemon. Gotta stay in them all! Folks go from one to the next from year to year on holiday all across the UK. They all have full bookshelves, and none of them have TVs! It’s simply lovely!
A few clicks down the road, our closest restaurant was Gurnard’s Head, a pub turned into a foodie destination. Pictured here is one of my fav dishes of the trip- the most pillowy gnocchi of all time, some local Gurnard fish, and my first real sticky toffee pudding! Obviously it was at the point that I decided to live here for the rest of my life and never return home.
