Plymouth

Yesterday we went to Plymouth
 

We went for a nice walk along the Hoe where Mum gave us a history lesson about Francis Drake (below), a game of bowls and a load of ships.


 The Hoe has great views across Plymouth Sound

Just keeping an eye open for any stray ships!

After our morning at Plymouth we went on to see a house and gardens at Cotehele 


It had some great gardens and a very steep walk down to its own quay where we found this boat called Shamrock (Dad was pleased with the Irish connection!) which is over 100 years old.

 
 We had a sit down before we tackled the big walk back up the hill to collect the car.
