Charlestown, not Charleston

From Tintagel, we headed south. There are certain times during our travels that we have 'must stop' destinations. Charlestown was one of those stops. Even though there was no connections back to Charleston South Carolina (and it is not even spelled the same), the magnetic pull of this port town was too much for Vivian. It was a lovely little port town. Jane Asten's Persuasion was set here as was one of the Three Musketeer's movies. Part of Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland was set here as well.


It was nice and quaint but once you toured the harbor, ate ice cream, and toured the one museum in town, there was not much left to do except race power boats. This is probably all the kids will remember but they had fun.
