Denzil I went to Looe, that was my base. Fantastic weather, really sunny but a cool sea breaze kept the temperature down a bit. We visited Mevagissey, Polperro, St Micheals Mount, The Eden project, The Lost gardens of Helligan and a few more places. Did 930 miles before coming home. You ever been to Flambards Denzil? Great place for all the family too. |

There was a British TV show on over here back in the 80's called "Poldark." That's what comes to mind when I think of Cornwall, other than all the lovely pictures on this site. PS - I'm only "Redruth" when I'm blushing |

LOL @ Ruth I've been to The Lizard and Cynance Cove Denzil, its lovely down there. |
| Denzil Tregallion Posts: 1764 Joined: 26th May 2008 Location: UK | quotePosted at 22:05 on 26th May 2008 Hello Ruth. The name Redruth comes from the words rys or rid meaning red and rudh meaning ford which is where a river or stream flows over a road. They are old Cornish words nice to meet you as well Ruth |
| Ruth Gregory Posts: 8072 Joined: 25th Jul 2007 Location: USA | quotePosted at 22:17 on 26th May 2008 Thank you, Denzil. Very interesting. Do you have sort of reddish clay earth there? We have places here in Arizona where a river or stream runs over a road, but they're usually dry and are called washes. As for the language - how many languages are there in the British Isles? I knew there was Irish and Welsh, but I didn't know there was a Cornish language. Are they related, maybe of Celtic origin? |
or have been in the sun too long. :o) (Sorry, I couldn't resist.) I'd be interested in the origin of the town name though.
