Cadgwith, Cornwall, England

The Todden
Our introduction to the todden was an entry in the helpful directory of services in our cottage, which stated that the nearest public phone was located on the todden. We were still clueless about where to phone, until we walked directly down the hill from our cottage into the town of Cadgwith and found this sign (and a phone). The todden is the steep portion of land remaining after the surf and tides have washed away much of the shore.

Behind our cottage was "The Devil's Frying Pan" where the earth had been undercut, leaving a sort of natural bridge with roiling waters washing the rocky shore underneath. It was truly spectacular.

There were many lovely thatched-roof cottages, and flowers were lush and abundant during our stay, even into October.

"The Witches House" came from a sign on a museum in Boscastle, near Tintagel on the northern coast. The witches of Boscastle are more famous in Cornwall than the witches of Eastwick.
