Falmouth… later
The rain did easy up, so we went for a shorter walk than we planned around to town and harbour, which did include sitting by the harbour eating a Cornish Pasty.

As the weather was not great, rather than walk in the hills we thought we would go to Bakewell and follow a short section of a walk Diana had sent me. She had watched a television program where Tony Robinson had been walking in the Peak District and exploring the history of the area. Diana had sent me a PDF, she had got from the show website – so we had a plan.
First stop was Bakewell.
We fled from the tourists and walked up to All Saints Church – where we had an excellent tea and home made cake. (Well Richard had coffee!)
Ratatosk – from the Anglo-Saxon Cross in the churchyard.
Then we moved onto Ashford-in-the-Water – where like Branston there is a Sheepwash.

Following lunch by the river we walked up to the Magpie Mine – but using mainly footpaths rather than the suggested road route.

Back at the campsite the evening was nice enough to cook and eat outside.
I had a number of meetings in the village this morning – so I did not need the car – and whilst walking through the old graveyard I saw this intricate design on a cross.
This window was in Lincoln along the side of the Witham.
