One of the most enchanting aspects of Cornwall are its narrow roads that lead to some of the most romantic views of fields, coastline and sandy coves....with almost always a walk you may choose to take in order to explore more closely.  Much of the Roseland coastline is protected by the National Trust, which ensures it will never be spoiled.  

Oh that pockets of our own rural shoreline could be so protected.....

We walked to Nare Head and the lighthouse on the tip of the point; sailing boats and wispy clouds creating an ever-changing view.

Hedgerows account for a surprise at every corner; heavy with honey scent and filled with wild grasses, briar roses, wild pink foxgloves and honeysuckle, cow parsley, valerian and many more plants I can't begin to name.  Driving along the narrowest of roads, its inevitable that a fair share of 'backing-up' is required to pass oncoming vehicles which is part of the fun as one zips along, disappearing into a dip from time to time, where a heavily wooded valley floor smells damp and sunlight is densely filtered through chartreuse foliage.

Over the hills and far away....back roads and byways, avoiding the highways....
