Cornwall : Day 4 and back home

The fourth day was our last day in Cornwall and we decided to see one place and then drive back to London. It is a long drive back (about 5-6 hours) and we wanted to reach back at an earthly hour this time!
We decided on the Lost Gardens of Heligan and it turned out to be an excellent choice..

We were again very lucky with the weather and it was lovely sunny day. Its an amazingly beautiful garden with lots of children's activities in the outdoors and huge trees and plants for us to see and walk through. The girls were delighted by the sleeping giant and other statues and spent quite some time on the adventure trail - where they had to crawl through tunnels, swing on rubber tyres, climb, squeeze through ropes etc. The highlight for A was to roast marshmallows on the bonfire..and for S was the rope bridge across the stream...

The weather turned bad after our barbecue lunch, it became extremely windy and a rainstorm hit as we started driving back. It was back to London and gloomy cold rainy weather..

More about what else we did in the half term break in the next post...
