My Disabled Guide 6.......The Lizard, Cornwall
Little Trethvas Farm C&CC site, the Lizard, Helston, Cornwall.
Disabled M/Homer with dogs.
Yeah I know it’s not a CC site still as I have said before it is worth a mention and it does relate to my travels, you may have noticed I usually put down the first of the month whatever month i’m traveling, I’m no good with exact dates and it doesn’t matter anyhow.
I feel I should praise this site as it was very well managed, clean, grass standing pitches, lovely people who owned it, but I have to look at it objectively from a disabled point of view, so without further adieu, it is ten miles from Helston situated about a mile from Lizard Village and about three miles from Cadgwith Cove where I spent most of my time with a couple of friends who have now moved to Cadgwith from Kent.
Walking from Little Thethvas to Cadgwith was a nightmare for me, I only did it once and spent a whole day laid up, after that If I wanted to go anywhere I either had to pack up every time with Doog and Misty or use the local taxi driver ( Nutty Noah ) that’s the name he goes by, he like most taxi drivers in that part charged me fifteen pounds a journey from little Trethvas but if I wanted to go to Helston ten miles away it was still fifteen pounds, still moving on, The hills and roads to most of the seaside places are very narrow indeed and you could come a cropper if you don’t watch out still after the first week of staying at LT I found out ( and I shouldn’t advertise this as it will come back to kick me up the arse ), the local car park is used by local motorhomers and costs about a quid a day instead of £16.00 pounds a day suffice is to say I know where i’ll be parking when I go back down in May 2014 and I’ll have my ebike with me………..but i’ll still have to push it up the bloody hills though they’re so steep.
I forgot to mention the dogs could run in the field as long as I cleaned up after them of course which was a plus for me and that the dogs were allowed in most of the pubs and cafe’s and restaurants in that part of Cornwall unlike a lot of places in the South of England.
So on the whole points out of ten………..5
