We walk around the town and checked out the monuments. There was a
memorial to Napoleon who had been held captive awaiting exile to St Helena.
These are the steps that the first pilgrims on the Mayflower walked down before leaving for North America. And yes they did take advantage of the advertised fish and chips offer.
The oldest lighthouse in the world.
Sir Francis Drake.
Napoleon's memorial.
The fortress that is currently occupied by the Royal Marines.
One of the oldest pedestrian crossing in the world.
A railway bridge designed by the great Victorian engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel. Stunning.
It was from this viewpoint that US soldiers embarked for D-Day in 1944.
We stopped for lunch at a little seaside town of Looe. One of our party was attacked by a seagull who made off with part of her ice cream. It was crowded due to the good weather and being a Bank holiday weekend. Every man and his dog was there, literally. You could have a small scoop for your dog as well.

After lunch we visited Polperro a small seaside village, a smaller
version of Doc Martin’s. A charming Cornwall sea-side village. Transport is
restricted to residents. You have to walk down and up or catch a converted milk
float.
We had a farewell dinner with our tour buddies.
