From near the steps down to the beach, the fantastic stacks known as Bedruthan Steps, Cornwall, England.
Commentary.
Cliffs over 200 feet surround this stack-laden
section of Watergate Bay.
At low tide vast expanses of golden beach are exposed.
The surf along this stretch of North Cornwall is world-renowned and nearby Fistral Beach, in Newquay, is its mecca.
The grandeur of the cliffs is enhanced by their geology.
The largely dark colours of Mid-Devonian slates, at almost 400 million years old, make up most of the cliffs and stacks.
North to south the stacks are named Queen Bess,
Samaritan Island, Red Cove Island, Pendarves Island
and Carnewas Island.
They appear as sharp, incisor, dog-teeth diminishing in height from north to south.
So much of this Northern Coast is awesome in its scale and grandeur, it is hard not to be moved by its mystique, myth, legend and magic.
It is truly one of the finest stretches of coastline I have ever seen!
