Camel Trail Day 2

Image
Today we headed to Bodmin along the Camel trail, mainly to visit Bodmin Jail and to do the rest of the trail in the direction of Wenford Bridge. Bodmin Jail was very interesting and will be even better once they have completed the restoration of the cell wings which have not had a roof in a great number of years The trail towards Wendford was a bit rougher which made it hard going at times and combined with the up hill, a bit tiring, so we didn't make it all the way to the end and turned back at just after Helland Bridge. The real reason not to continue was because the wife was keen on having a "glass" of wine at the Camel Valley Vineyard. It turned into a bottle of excellent Rose overlooking the vines in glorious sunshine, it really felt like summer in France.
