We arrived at Gatwick airport Saturday morning and drove down to our timeshare in Bude, Cornwall on a beautiful day.  Of course, having just spent a short night jammed into a small seat on a big airplane, we weren't in the best shape to enjoy the sights, or to take many pictures.  Bude, pronounced more or less like rude, is found on the northern coast of Cornwall.  On the map below it is indicated by a green arrow with a yellow line under it.

The roads of rural England are noted for being a bit on the narrow side and in many places in Cornwall and Devon the hedgerow is right beside the pavement, which can be hard on the passenger.  Here is a short video to give you a feel for that.

We stayed in a nice timeshare that was built on a farm just outside of town.  Several of the original buildings had been saved and converted and others added, but built to look as if they were older.

These pictures were taken at the resort:
