Welcombe Mouth Beach

Welcombe Mouth Beach is a very secluded and quiet beach on the Devon/Cornwall border. This hidden gem is part of a 'Site of Special Scientific Interest' and is surrounded by steep, rocky cliffs and costal slopes. When the tide is low it reveals a small beach of golden sand with many rock pools to be found along the fore shore. Along with some interesting geology there is a picturesque waterfall, which I have done my best to capture in the high winds and rain. Not the easiest beach to access and tends to be popular with the local surfers and ramblers.

I love this trio of pictures Rosa ~ The waterfall one is particularly good with interesting light and the water well frozen in time. The rocks look hungry awaiting a ship to run onto them. The green valley looks rugged

Rosalyn Hilborne ^club has replied to Nick Weall ^club

I'm very pleased with your kind comments Nick, thank you. It must have been very treacherous for small boats and the smugglers in their time. This place was the highlight of our holiday....we loved it.

Keith Burton ^club

These are great images Rosa.............the main one is my favourite, as you've captured the movement of power of the water beautifully as well as the details in the rocks.

The first PiP puts it in a wider context...........the colours in the landscape are really lovely and the light is amazing!

The second PiP is really atmospheric........almost ethereal...........the dark volcanic rocks look amazing in the hazy sunshine and rough seas.

Cracking work!

Rosalyn Hilborne ^club has replied to Keith Burton ^club

You cannot imagine the fun we had there in the howling wind and rain. It was the perfect weather for such a place....quite haunting! The power of the waterfall and of the sea was amazing.

Thank you so much for your kind comments. After this we went to a nice cafe for breakfast, then on to Clovelly where there was no wind or rain at all ;-))

Thank you very much Herb. Yes a successful and happy trip. This is the waterfall I really hoped I would see, but trying to get to the cove in such adverse conditions was not easy....but worth it :)
Take care and have a nice evening, Rosa.

Truly magnificent photos of this wonderful place, Rosalyn. Superb rendering of the (difficult-to-photograph) waterfalls. All are so beautifully composed.

Rosalyn Hilborne ^club has replied to micritter

Thank you for your kind words micritter. I'm a novice at waterfalls, and could hardly hold the camera still in the wind, so I was quite pleasantly surprised that at least one of the many I took turned out well. Take care and have a good day.

It is near the Cornish border and a wild and windy area on the Atlantic coast.

Doug Shepherd ^club

A very nice series Rosa! You have done a very nice job each of the pictures, especially taking into account the challenging weather conditions. The perspective on the waterfall is spot on, and the contrast of the light on the rocks and the dark clouds brings the scene to life.

All the best, Doug
