John Betjeman Summer Readings

ROCK

North Cornwall

5/5

Based on 1 review

Many a village has a reading room, but here, words attain greatness. Flop out on the dunes at St Enodoc church where the Poet Laureate rests in peace and listen to his poetry read out loud. The pop of a cork beats the crack of a beer can, so best take wine.

Take the ferry across to Rock from Padstow then walk through the sand dunes to the little church of St Enodoc of which Betjeman wrote and where he is buried.
