Rinsey Head, West Cornwall
This prominent house on Rinsey Head near Porthleven in West Cornwall, always looks to be on the verge of sliding into the sea, but it's foundations are set into solid granite.
I read that it had been used at one point as the count house (offices) of a nearby tin mine, but there seems to no solid evidence and it was in fact built in the late 1920s and early 1930s by Mr G A Gibb, a London stockbroker.
It's currently an Arts and Craft style holiday home.
The house was once used a location for the television series 'Jonathan Creek' and was also a setting for a story by novelist Rosamunde Pilcher.
Rosamunde Pilcher OBE, who died aged 94 in 2019, set her novels in Cornwall and she is particularly popular in Germany where the national television station ZDF (Zweites Deutsches Fernsehen) has produced more than a hundred of her stories as TV movies, starting with The Day of the Storm in 1993.
Cornwall receives many German tourists as a result!
