After the picturesque town of Polperro, the road I am following takes an inland route. I peer over the hedgerows and watch for other vehicles on the narrow road …

Near Lansallos, agricultural land spreads endless, to the very edge of the sea cliffs. There are sheep in the pastures … I just leave little unpainted gaps in the watercolor!

Lansallos is a charming village with places to stay …

white houses, white blossoms …

and an old (15th century) church …

You can see the tower of St. Ildierna church from miles away. The interior of the church was partly destroyed by fire in 2005 but has since been restored through donations.

The village of Lansallos is listed in the Doomsday Book (the landowner survey done for William I and completed in 1086) as the Manor of Lansalhas !!!
