Pentargon blue

Pentargon blue
Pentargon is a beautiful rocky inlet just north-east of Boscastle, on the coast of north Cornwall. Viewed here from the truncated lip.

Here, the short, steep-sided Pentargon valley ends abruptly, its waterfall plunging 120 ft over the sheer lip into the Pentargon inlet below. There are a number of these truncated valleys on the north Cornwall coast. Few of them extend far inland and often end with a spectacular, if small, waterfall over a vertical drop to the beach below.
