Trerice

It started a bit grey but after breakfast it brightened up a little, and was quite warm. The wind had died down a lot.

We headed off to Trerice (pronounced Tre-rice), an historic manor in the parish of Newlyn East near Newquay. The surviving Tudor Manor House, known as Trerice House is located at Kestle Mill, three miles east of Newquay. The house with its surrounding garden has been owned by the National Trust since 1953 and is open to the public. The garden features an orchard with old varieties of fruit trees. 

The house and Cafe are currently closed due to Covid 19 but the gardens are still open. There are areas that are not mown to encourage wildlife. We spent a lovely couple of hours amongst the birds and butterflies.

On the way back, we had a ride to the Park Deans resort we will be staying at next year. By the time we got back to the caravan it had gotten quite windy again.
