📌 Joe Howe falls, Truro Nova Scotia. A wonderful little waterfall surrounded by fantastic trails and the most terrifying stairs I've ever seen!

DAY 4 - Cycling south UK. I left my hosts in Truro after a wonderful breakfast and visited the city center (the smallest city in the UK) and Truro Cathedral. After a 'second breakfast' at a bakery I went on my way for the 22km, +440m to the Lost Gardens of Heligan. The 18th century gardens and estate were neglected and forgotten after WWI and only restored in 1990. The Gardens now contain a wide variety plants that represent different parts of the world. The entrance fee was a bit expensive and you need your time to visit, so I enjoyed a tea & scone instead and cycled the remaining 10km, +170m to St. Austell where I took a train to Totnes, Devon for a last small push to Dartington campsite. Dinner and early night to seek shelter for the wind. August 2025.

DAY 3 - Cycling south UK. After breakfast and a chat with host Demelza I start my 40km, +550m route to St Agnes on the north coast of Cornwall. Really lucky with the warm and sunny weather. The narrow roads and steep hills are very challenging and concentration is needed to drive safely on the carrier ways. Near Cambrose I enjoy a tea and scone at the Olde Pennys Tea Room and 2nd hand store, a cute and homely store with a strange assembly of stuff. Energised I continue to Wheal Coates, a famous ruin of a former tin mine with furnace tower and pump house. Nice little walk around the ruins and along the cliffs before setting off to St. Agnes and a visit to the local museum. From St. Agnes 'only' 17km, +270m to Truro, where I'm very warmly welcomed by LI contact Jonathan and his wife Lucy where I have a nice warm shower, a tasty curry and a saffron scone for dinner/dessert. Great night's rest in the beautiful house. August 2025.
