The old Southwest Peninsula Coast path went this way but it was a touch too strenuous and steep so it was re-routed up above on the flat and, frankly, boring path. I enjoy following the original path here.

Camp Cameron was the US Forces army base for black service personnel in the UK in WWII. They were placed here, in Out-Of-The-Way Cornwall so as not to frighten the poor timid natives. Joe Louis was based here and wrote that he was bored out of his mind! Now, no trace remains of the camp which was situated above St Agnes Head.

High above the beach by the side of the steep path. A lazy, hazy summer's afternoon. The cliffs seen here are called The Knavocks. No idea why.

Enjoying itself hugely. It had an amazing appetite and devoured this daffodil almost before I got my phone out of my pocket! Best on 'z'! By sheer coincidence Marie-claire Gallet has also posted a photo of this insect. You can see it on explore. She knows the name so thank you Marie-claire!!!
