RHH's photos with the keyword: cornwall

These photos were taken on a family holiday in Portreath, Cornwall, near where many of Andy Rodker's photos were taken. We were hiking the coastal path southwest of Portreath when I took the photos. The photo is dedicated to his memory.

Another photo taken along the coastal path southwest of Portreath in Cornwall, while on a family holiday there in 2007.

I lost my records for this picture and do not remember which village this is. My recollection is that it was somewhere east of Redruth.

The color in this picture is not enhanced at all. It's an older film picture that has been scanned, but the only changes were some touch-up to scratches and dirt in the picture. Especially striking is the second sun, really an image of the sun reflected in the clouds. This image has its own faint reflection in the water which can be seen if the picture is viewed in a large size.

An old tin works turned into a resort. The ruined works can be seen at the top of the picture.

Restormel Castle is situated on the River Fowey near Lostwithiel, Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is one of the four Norman castles of Cornwall, the others being Launceston, Tintagel and Trematon. It was built in 1100 in the typical motte and bailey style and is a perfect example of military architecture of its period, and one of the finest in England. The castle belonged to the Cardinhams in the 12th century, until Andrew de Cardinham's daughter married Thomas de Tracey, who owned the castle until 1264, after which it went to Simon de Montfort and to Henry III's brother, Richard of Cornwall. Richard died in 1271, and his son Edmund in 1300. From 1337 it became one of the 17 Antiqua maneria of the Duchy of Cornwall. Restormel has seen action only once during its long history, when Charles I's forces drove out the Parliamentarian garrison during the Civil War. -Wikipedia
