Trevor Barlow: Monday, May 16th, 2011

We had breakfast with the Rushworth Clan at the Calder House Hotel, the Rushworth's were going on to London and Sally and I departed Seascale to Manchester Airport for our flight to Newquay. On the way we stopped at Hawkshead for lunch.....Another rainy day!

Hawkshead, Cumbria - Home of Beatrix Potter
Hawkshead is an ancient township that has flourished since Norse times, belonging to Furness Abbey until the 12th Century. The monks owned Hawkshead Hall, just outside the village, of which the National Trust owned Hawkshead Courthouse is all that remains. After the dissolution of the monasteries in 1537, Hawkshead grew as a market town, with many buildings dating from the 17th Century. Hawkshead is still the same tiny village of higgledy-piggledy houses, archways, and squares beloved by William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter.

Our lunch venue....with a real fire and real ale!

Onto Newquay for an appointment with Doc Martin! We arrived at 9:30pm and these next set of pictures were taken at about 10pm....it's just like a film set....really picturesque. For those who have seen or followed Doc Martin these pictures will be familiar....

Our hotel (The Old School House) up on the bluff....

The slipway....Sally and I walked out to the fishing vessels (Tide was out)...The black areas on the top and bottom of the picture was caused by the camera shutter jamming...but that's fixed now.
