The word is a very exciting place

 Cornwall is one of those places where time seems to stop. It's probably one of the most laid back places in the UK, which I think is why so many people go there for their holidays. Including us! We made an early morning visit to Mevagissey, one of Cornwall's most famous fishing towns. It was gloriously quiet, and we felt like we had the place to ourselves! And to be fair, we pretty much did!

Falmouth is a bustling town, either in summer or in the relative cold of spring, and with a wide variety of things to do. There's plenty of little shops, in particular a good choice of book shops, as well as a selection of cafe's, deli's, artisan tat shops and much more. We had decided to do St Mawes first, so we found a parking spot, and walked down to the ferries, past this chimney, so called The Kings Pipe. It was used to burn tobacco that had been smuggled in but seized by the authorities as it meant they avoided paying taxes, and it was burnt as a warning to anyone else thinking of trying to smuggle goods into the country.
