St Agnes Head and Wheal Coates from Chapel Porth. The tiny cove of Chapel Porth with its sandy beach is just below us here (see PiP). All the buildings are in fact part of the Wheal Coates mine complex and you can see here part of the 630 mile long South West Coastal Path which was our constant companion. See PiP for another view of this small cove, from behind the little cafe. Enjoy full size and contrast the freedom of this sight compared with what our friends in Ukraine have today.

We are on the tiny Chapel-Porth beach in Cornwall. There are a few sea caves along the bottom of the cliffs only accessible at low tide by foot. This is commonly known as Smugglers Cave but I find no real evidence to support that, however I have read that a large cave was used here at the beginning of World War 1 to hide two heavy horses, to prevent them being requisitioned by the army. - Albert was the prized lead horse of a team that hauled machinery to and from Cornish mines, while Captain was a farm horse.

We are back in Cornwall, just slightly south of the famous St Agnes head and its Wheal Coates mine. Heading down to this tiny cove with its busy little car park. Time for a sit down, especially for walkers coming up. Enjoy full screen.

As the wind and rain drives like a fast train towards me, the bright sun here just moments ago lights up the sky and sea with rainbows. The spot is a high headland above the Cornish cove of Chapel Porth. HBM. Enjoy full screen and have a good week.
