Charlestown time warp.

 Bamber Gascoigne's brother Cyril would no doubt marvel at the price of these beauties.......
 plenty of water flowing over the top of the dock gates at Charlestown.......
 rebuilt courtesy of Visick's from Perranwell Station near Falmouth........
 low water through the gaps at Charlestown......
 where the facilities are pretty basic, ye olde original pissoir pour l'homme.......
 plenty of space on the quay from the few local boats.......
 though these days the port is the home base for Square Sail that run the classic sailing ships featured in som many period dramas and movies........
 all of which can be enjoyed along the Coast Path.......
 along with some pretty traditional tourist menus........
 and something a little more contemporary at the Wreckers Bistro........
  though the menu would seem to suggest there is an option for any visitors with cannibalistic tendencies........


 luckily there's a huge selection of fresh local fish from Mevagissey.........
 what looks like a Dragon racing boat is out to grass.......
 overlooking the old China Clay port........
 is the Shipwreck and Heritage Centre, kids get in for free........
 with Neptune just appeared up the road.......
for any business looking to re-locate to Cornwall there's a whole new development of work units and accommodation available......
just a phone call away.
