Zennor, Towednack and Morvah parishes

Some will remember this from Pano and 23 hq. Pure fantasy with a bit of tweaking of tone but the colours at that moment were not far off this! Bosigran Head, Zennor, Cornwall - the main climbing cliff. 2nd posting on ipernity; first time 4 years ago but worth a re-show just for the colours of this early evening shot!

Bosigran, Zennor, Cornwall. South West Peninsula Coast Path. The remains of neolithic field walls said to be the oldest stone constructions still used for their original purpose and possibly up to 8,000 years old.

Chun Quoit (quoit = Cornish for dolmen). Although small, it is the best preserved quoit in Cornwall. All the others have dislodged capstones or some other disturbance. These are presumed to be burial chambers but no burial remains have ever been found. They were all originally buried under a mound of stones and earth but erosion in the harsh environment of West Penwith and the action of tomb robbers has meant that you can see the vestiges of the mound only at one quoit; here, at Chun. Estimated to be approx. 6,000 years old. Sited in Morvah parish, West Penwith, Cornwall. Misspelt Quiot on Google maps! Photo; July 20, 2012.

Lane to Men-an-Tol. Without wellies (most people were braving sandals or similar) the best way was to roll up your trouser legs or tuck your skirt into whatever was available, or trespass in the adjoining field. Most people did the latter! Taken and posted in 2017, re-posted New Year's Day 2021

Cornish coast at Treen North, Zennor Parish, West Penwitth. Yes, I've posted this before but I have no new Cornish shots to show.

Gurnard's Head tin mine ruins just visible to the right. Pleased the mini hiccup in uploading and other functions is now over. Hope it stays that way!

It is a non-native pest as it crowds out the native species but it is so pretty and bright that it is easy to forgive ... almost!

From Gurnard's Head to Zennor Head, West Penwith. For Pam.

The day was sunny but a little hazy off the sea.

Just a calm sea for a peaceful scene!

I have generally been lucky with the weather in Cornwall on my all-too-infrequent visits home. But you have to expect the odd dull day here and there!

The cutest, and best preserved, of the Cornish quoits.

From Zennor Head to Gurnard's Head with Carn Galva on the horizon, left. This is a fabulous stretch of the Southwest Peninsula Coastpath. For Pam.

Porthmeor Cove, between Bosigran and Treen, Gurnard's Head, Zennor, Cornwall. It has been claimed that these are the remains of the oldest man made stone constructions anywhere in the world still in use for their original purpose. Well, I don't think they are very effective as field walls today but I get the drift!
