We love to walk to St Just, and we take a different route as often as possible. The favourite is a quite long route from New Forge at Tregiffian. Across the fields and down the valley to Nanquidno – why wouldn’t you take every opportunity to go that way? Then down to the sea and [...]

Tregiffian, Sennen, that sunset again
It has been a pretty perfect day, a great long walk, home for a bath in the sumptuous bath at New Forge with the evening sun streaming through the window, a Cornish Palm in silhouette against the deep blue sky, that gradually faded to this:
Priest’s Cove
It’s going to be hard not to make this entry a series of about 20 different and excellent photos. Richard, Allison and Amanda were all clicking away madly and the results are truly lovely and show off this simple yet stunning little cove at its best. Priest’s Cove is about an hour’s walk along the [...]
Fabulous Bank Holiday at Gwenver
Our favourite beach at Gwenever, which is just a ten minute walk from the cottage, is never crowded, and yesterday was just about perfect in the hot afternoon sun. With the tide out there was plenty of space for the dogs to run free without stressing the people trying to have pic nics. As the [...]
Newlyn Fish Festival

We tend to get there every other year, and we’re always amazed at teh crowds it pulls raising thousands in valuable funds for the Seamen’s Mission. We caught up with My Cornwall TV boss Dorian Spackman, his [...]

Porthcurno and the Minack – a circular
I’ve long wanted an excuse to use this lovely shot from a couple of years back. This looks from the gardens at the Minack across to Logan Rock with the beautiful Penvounder Beach in the distance. A great walk that includes these and the near perfect Penberth Cove starts at Porthgwarra (I’ll look for shots of [...]
Gwenver – wonderful photos of this magical beach
Gwenver is such a magical place, especially in the evening sun, ideally with a bottle, maybe a BBQ, after a day on the beach, swimming, running around with the dog, other people’s dogs, sand between our toes and emotion closer to the surface than we’re used to. We tend to think of a good day [...]
