About Cornwall
One of the lesser known and quieter beaches, with over half a mile of golden sand and few people, on the South Coast of Cornwall. There are a few of these across the county with varying degrees of ease (straight from the car park) to my favourite with 115 steps and a small ladder built into the cliff.
Cornish Wildlife
The Buzzard (Buteo Buteo) is just one of the species of the many types of wildlife to be spotted throughout Cornwall. This one (of a pair) was hunting along the cliff tops near Padstow. There is a whole host of different habitats across Cornwall, from the wading birds, seals and dolphins of the estuaries to the foxes, badgers and deer of the hinterland. On warm sunny days watch out for lizards and snakes basking on stone walls or rocky outcrops.
Cornwall Coast
My wife and I have lived in Cornwall all our lives and through our coastal and moorland walks have got to know our county inside out, from the more famous tourist spots to the secret beaches we so love. The Jaguar "Rameses" (not all cars are female) is a Mark Two, 3.8 litre that was fully reconditioned and restored in 1999 and has been lovingly cared for ever since.
Ancient Cornish Monuments
The Merry Maidens stone circle near the quaint village of Lamorna. This is just one of hundreds of ancient monuments throughout Cornwall, including Holy Wells, Standing Stones, Iron Age Earthworks and the mysterious fougous, such as the Halliggye Fougou (circa 500BC) in the Trelawarren Estate on the Lizard Peninsular.
