The Phoenix in Charlestown Harbour

The land of Poldark.

Cornwall has gone Poldark crazy.......... you can't move for post cards, prints, teat towels, mugs and even paintings of Ross and Demelza. There are guided tours of the sites used for the filming of the series and even Poldark themed B&Bs popping up everywhere...... and every tea room has now replaced the famous Cornish cream tea with the Poldark style cakey teas

With series two airing on the TV in the autumn and the filming of series three taking place this summer, no one is complaining as it all helps the Cornish tourist trade and brings some much needed money to the County.

Nooo...please tell me you can still get a cream tea somewhere! Fair play though, making the most of the publicity.
I like the tones in this shot.

@jbd1962 Don't panic..... cream teas are still available. :)

To my shame, I had to google Poldark... I'm not in the TV loop apparently ;) That's one good looking ship though, love the muted colours in this shot

[Shari]

Love the monochromatic colouring here. Nice image too.

[Anna Kucharska]

Beautiful shot...
Have to admit I'm looking forwards to the new series, though I prefer the books.

[smiffy]

nice

[Joan Robillard]

Not familiar with the series. Wondering if it has made it to the States yet. I watch a lot of British shows Netflicks. Neat ship.

Great shot, I was there a few years ago and bought a Cornish pasty from a shop just to the left of your shot, It must be a Poldark pasty now then. Fav

[Barbara Webb]

Great photo, love the tones!

[Jules Hoogstra-Anderson]

She's a beauty, amazing shot!

[Christine]

Great shot. Nothing wrong with a bit of Poldark, especially Ross!

[Dyan Stevens]

Fantastic image! Love the seagulls in flight, and the 3 people on the left taking a gander at the ship.

I had to look on IMDB for Poldark as well! I don't watch much TV :) but this is a really beautiful ship - and harbor...

[Swillin' Billy Flynn]

@kerosene Yeah, we seldom watch the TV but as Poldark is filmed all around where we live and two of our pirate crew are acting in it..... we can't resist this one. It's actually very good. :)

@swillinbillyflynn I'm so curious!!!
