Day 39 Cardiff to Saltash, Cornwall 25 May 2018

Today we left under dark skies to go to Bath. There we visited the Roman Baths that were excellently presented. Elizabeth purchased an elegant limited edition tweed coat and then we visited the Bath Cathedral which has a problem with a subsiding floor.

Leaving Bath we did drop in to the Wells Cathedral which has a wonderfully ornate facade.

We stopped to walk over a bridge that dates back to the 12th Century.

We saw the Wellington monument from a distance.

Some of the roads were quite picturesque.

Look it actually does exist...good one Barnaby.

We then stopped in Glastonbury which has quite an alternate population. Saw bits of the ruins of the Glastonbury cathedral.

The roads through Devon were amazingly narrow and quite hair-raising. Luckily we were sitting at the front of the bus.

Went through the Dartmoor Moors. There seems to be a difference between the Upper and Lower moors, the later being more forbidding and devoid of trees. There were also Devon ponies.

Caught a glimpse of Dartmoor prison, which houses 650 of the highest security prisoners in the UK.

A bridge that the famous painter Turner painted.

For dinner most of our tour went to a local restaurant that was only accessible by taxis. A few of us did not go and had a meal at the Golf Club instead. The food was good and we really did not want a three course meal.  It was a very long day but an excellent one.
