Cornish coast, 500 views +

. I know this was a recent Pano upload but anyway!.... August 2015, Cornwall.

Penberth Cove, Southwest Peninsula Coast Path, Cornwall. Taken August 2015, re-posted December 2020. For Pam.

Tucked away between Porthcurno and Lamorna. Perhaps best on large.

Must have been a Very Important Person indeed to merit such an impressive location for a tomb!

A walk along the South West Peninsula Coast Path is a joy.

Ralph's Cupboard near Portreath, Cornwall

August 2014. The coast path above St Agnes' Head, Cornwall.

Atlantic meets granite.

This is an officially designated nudist beach. I like this beach for its many aesthetic qualities and pleasures! But I must add that I have never seen any nudists here! The way down is quite safe but not perhaps for the faint-hearted! And in some years, land slides and mud slips make the path treacherous until someone (on one occasion me and a local line fisherman) helps out by kicking in a new path where the old one had been swept away. (The things I do for aesthetics!) Seriously, anyone who knows this beach well will tell you that I am exaggerating. You see whole families down on the beach. Grandmothers pass me by on their zimmer frames as I gingerly creep down the cliff path, City types stroll past, nonchalantly placing a deal or booking a table at Nathan Outlaw's latest restaurant. etc etc No. I still haven't seen any nudists here! Sorry. I get carried away sometimes with the beauty of Cornish scenery!

Reskajeage, above Fishing Cove. The coast sweeps past Hell's Mouth (partly hidden), North cliffs and St Agnes' Head and on to Perranporth and Newquay. Taken not all that far from the previous shot with the honeysuckle (although two years later). The reason why the post is perfectly presented and everything else is slightly bokeh-ish is because I forgot to switch off the flash (although Ben - Fratton Parker kindly explains that it is 'fill-in flash' and not a mistake!).

The beach is inaccessible except by boat. Even so I have never seen anyone sunbathing or swimming here.

Coastal Erosion at Ralph's Cupboard, Portreath, Cornwall. Not the cleverest place to stand and take a shot, I grant you! Not much time left: www.generosity.com/community-fundraising/ipernity-members-association-a-non-profit-entity/x/16256307

At low tide I walk the length of coastline you see here - in either direction. It's great fun rock-hopping and occasionally wading through pools etc. It takes 1.5 hours (or more if you stop to take photos or just admire the scenery!)

South West Peninsula Coast Path, Cornwall

South West Peninsula Coast Path. August 2014 My question for the group 'Ask an Expert' is this. Are these actually Shetland ponies? It sparked a lively debate on Panoramio but was never truly resolved. The notice boards all say Shetland Ponies, but quite a few viewers said they were too big and must be another breed..

North Cliffs, Cornwall. This shot is taken from the ramparts of Crane Castle, or what is left of this Iron Age hill fort. The flowering bank in the foreground leads up to the top of the landward defensive rampart; nearly all of the fort is now under the sea and would have occupied the now disappeared land between this position and the island ahead.

A favourite stretch of North Cornish coast.

Granite cliffs at St Agnes' Head, St Agnes' Heritage Coast. Good fun scrambling down to this point and good exercise getting back up! I used to to do it 10 times a day when I was trying to lose the weight I put on after I quit smoking! It worked! Try on Z please.
