A bracketed shot at the cave located next to Porthgwarra beach which is a beautiful little beach in Cornwall. One of the very few beaches in Cornwall that is not overflowing with tourists. @eyeseesurs got the opportunity to play Lara Croft in real life. This tunnel, leading seawards, is the fishermen's access to the tidal 'hulleys' built in the rocks to store shellfish. The 'hulleys', which ceased being used about 20 years ago, had wooden floors and topcovers with trapdoors and were used to store shellfish prior to taking the catch to market once or twice a week. A second tunnel was dug by tin miners from St Just to give farmers horse-and-cart access to the beach to collect seaweed to use as a fertiliser.
Called as Porthkornow in cornish means "Port (or Bay) of Cornwall". In the nineteenth century, this remote beach became famous as the British termination of early submarine telegraph cables, the first of which was landed in 1870, part of an early international link stretching all the way from the UK to India. If you look closely almost a third way from the left of the image, on the top of the cliff you may be able to spot a white pyramid. This is where the submarine cable from France terminated.
Rock formation at the bottom of Mayon Cliff in Land's End. This is one of the most unique rock formations on the Cornish coast. With almost perfect triangular shape and the absolute straight protrusion at the top, it looks almost man made. Stay tuned for the video shot at this location coming out tomorrow.
