Bodmin & Wenford Railway

 Half a hour walk to Bodmin General Station, then watched our GWR steam engine changing ends of the train before we boarded.  

 

  

It was a Cream Tea special day, and a large party near us were all indulging despite it not even being midday yet!  We resisted the temptation and the great cost and ate our own picnic on a seat near the war memorial in the little village of Nanstallon.

Our train going back to Bodmin from Boscarne Junction, the end of this section of the line.

 

 

 

 

 

 

We did a lot of steep downs and ups, found a geo or two - one after finding clues at the parish church

We explored the village, walked over the River Camel

and up to the Camel Trail, where the railway used to go to Padstow. 

A necessary stop at the Camel Trail Tea Garden for cuppas

and back along the Trail to Boscarne Junction for the ride back to Bodmin.

Lovely scenery on the way.

Then the walk back to our quiet little campsite for our last Cornish night.  Tomorrow moving on again - as far as Lower Odcombe near Yeovil.
