My first trip to England

My wife and I recently spent 10 days in England. We spent the first half of the trip in Cornwall. We stayed in Wadebridge and Marazion. This was my favorite part of the trip. Cornwall was beautiful, the food was stunning and the single track roads made every drive an adventure.

After Cornwall we were in London. We took two day trips from London. One to Cambridge and one to Bath. Both were great but I preferred Cambridge. My London highlights were dinner at Juno Omakase and seeing My Neighbor Totoro on stage. It was incredible.

But seriously. I know the UK gets a bad rap for food but this entire post could be food for me. And looking back on our trips to Ireland/Northern Ireland and Scotland we've always dined well. Still doesn't top Portugal but the UK is one of my favorite food regions after this trip.

4: Camel Valley vineyard. This was a pleasant surprise as I didn't expect to find such great wine in the UK. A great place to hang out and they have the sweetest vineyard cat.

5: Wheal Coates mines

6: St. Michaels Mt in Marazion

7: My first ever whole lobster from Argoe in Newlyn. One of the best dinners of the trip.

8: St. Ives. This is where I'd like to stay if/when we come back.

10: Local chippy on the beach on our final night in Marazion.

12: One of the ravens at the Tower of London. It was giving me Bloodborne.

13: I had many cask ales on this trip but Hand and Marigold was probably my favorite pub we visited. It was so cute.

17: Bath
