We visited Cornwall in August 2005, my first visit to the county for many years, this section has photos of some of the places we visited.  It starts with Land's End , moves along to Penzance then continues along the south coast to Trebah Garden , Falmouth (including Pendennis Castle), St Mawes Castle, Trewithen and Charlestown .  A brief digression from 2005 next, the Eden Project with photos from various visits.  We then go up to the north coast, starting with  Boscastle where rebuilding after terrible flooding the previous year was almost complete then on to Tintagel Castle where King Arthur was conceived according to legend, next comes Padstow followed by Watergate Bay - which is just north of Newquay which our next stop before we finish our short tour at Trenance Cove, St. Agnes apart from a little tail piece of photos from Cornish Goldsmiths, which is a sort of jewellery superstore near Redruth.

Amongst other things they have the car from the film "Back to the Future"...

...and James Bond's Aston Martin from "Goldfinger".

Ever wondered what a million pounds worth of gold looks like?

Or how about a million in fivers?
