Trip to Cornwall - day one

So off we went to Cornwall last Saturday. The weather wasn't kind to us initially... and as we drove south the clouds continued to look bleak. We headed down the A361 through Chipping Norton and Burford.. then quickly onto the M4.. and then taking the very scenic and beautiful A46.. descending into Bath. The traffic around Bath was an absolute nightmare so we ended up having lunch in a beautiful little town called Bradford-on-Avon... which featured some of the hilliest and narrowest streets I have yet seen in my time in England. The heavens opened continually throughout the day... and after lunch we drove via various B-roads to our destination for the evening, Cheddar (yes.. home of the famous cheese). We stayed at a very old and homely YHA. Cheddar is also home to a famous gorge.. which was quite breathtaking. Alas..the continual rain and overcast skies meant that there were no photo opportunities.
