Dartmoor
Saw: Holne, Hound Tor, Castle Drogo, Fingle Bridge, Okehampton Castle, Lydford Castle & Church, the road to Merrivale, Buckland Abby. Favourites = Hound Tor and Buckland Abby. The moor is just beautiful, peaceful, remote and impossible to drive with any sense of direction. One way streets, but they're actually two way streets, so having an SUV is great, sometimes, but terrible other times.
West Cornwall
Saw: Penzance (arr), Lands End, Ballowall Burrow, Levant Mine, scenic drive to St. Ives, St. Ives, St. Michaels Mount (from distance), LONG drives (2.5 hours each way to get to West Cornwall). Best was being at Lands End (ignoring the junk in the area), and then the lovely drive to St. Ives - so beautiful! I waved to Canada - the closest I'll ever be to it, while in England.
I'll try post some photos next week when I have better internet access. I'll also try describe things better, but I'm tired and lazy and sleeping.
