We left Marazion and drove to Porthcurno to see the Minack Theatre. The drive was a tad scary, as the roads were narrow and winding, with either stone walls or hedges on both sides (thereby leaving no road shoulders). It was a bit stressful when cars came up close behind us (probably the locals) and we had to find suitable spots to pull over and let them pass. Plus, it was quite unnerving to suddenly go round a bend to see a car coming headlong towards us! Not for the faint-hearted, that drive.
We were so glad when we arrived at Minack Theatre. I would never have known about this place if not for my mum- who saw it featured on her favourite travel show, hosted by the ever-so-entertaining Samantha Brown. Minack Theatre is an amazing open-air theatre created from the cliffside at Porthcurno with spectacular views of the bay. The theatre was built by a lady named Rowena Cade- who actually transported stones from a nearby quarry in a wheelbarrow; thus building it with her own hands! Wow.
The scenery from the top of the cliff was simply breathtaking. We were so blessed to have beautiful weather that made the visit such a wonderful one. When we saw the theatre, I was shocked at how steep it was! I am terrified of heights, so walking around and looking down (especially near the edge) made my knees go weak... :p
Can you think of a more gorgeous way to enjoy scones? :)
Leaving Minack Theatre, we drove on to Land's End- the most westerly point in England. The views of the rocky cliffs and the ocean was breathtaking, and it was lovely to see locals and tourists alike out enjoying the beautiful weather.
