Coasts, mainly Cornwall

Bosigran Head, Zennor Parish, Cornwall. for Pam

A favourite stretch of Cornish coast.

H. A. N. W. E. everyone! Low tide. Fishing Cove and Hell's Mouth from The Knavocks, Reskajeage, Cornwall. For Pam. The people on the beach at Fishing Cove give an idea of scale.

View to Sennen and Land's End. Granite coast - old tin mining country. West Penwith, Cornwall. For Pam.

Sea carrot, heather and gorse on the downs overlooking Samphire and Asparagus Islands and the cliffs of Northcliffs, Hell's Mouth, The Knavocks and Godrevy in the distance. Godrevy Isalnd and lighthouse can just be seen and the hills of West Penwith are on the horizon, about half way to Land's End. For Pam. On full screen please. Sight and sound, for no other reason that I like the song and the under-rated artist Sixto Rodriguez www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvFky0YcGAQ

A good coastline for some fun scrambling.

The cutest, and best preserved, of the Cornish quoits.

A very calm sea! A high tide shot. At low tide the golden expanse of Pednvounder Beach lies below. For Pam, of course!

St Ives Harbour from Smeaton's Pier. Low tide.

From Zennor Head to Gurnard's Head with Carn Galva on the horizon, left. This is a fabulous stretch of the Southwest Peninsula Coastpath. For Pam.

Southwest Peninsula Coastpath between Newdown's Head and Trevaunance Cove, St Agnes Coast, Cornwall. For Pam. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnr3gsRNwS0 A bit of Jethro, to get that true Cornish spirit! Sight and Sound.

As calm a sea as you could ever get!

Porthmeor Cove, between Bosigran and Treen, Gurnard's Head, Zennor, Cornwall. It has been claimed that these are the remains of the oldest man made stone constructions anywhere in the world still in use for their original purpose. Well, I don't think they are very effective as field walls today but I get the drift!

Looking towards Treaga Hill from above Ralph's Cupboard.

The no-nudist nudist beach!

Very recent rock fall here. I used to stroll over what is now sweet fanny adams! For Pam!

The tunnel links the small beach at this tiny fishing hamlet, with a more protected cove. The small boats could be hauled through the tunnel up to the latter if the seas threatened to be too rough for the beach. That frayed old blue rope is handy if the granite is wet underfoot! For Pam!
