Glebe Cliff: southern part
Images taken on the more southerly part of Glebe Cliff, around Tintagel Youth Hostel and Dunderhole Point. To my mind, this area is more barren compared to the more northerly part, being characterised by slate mining waste from a disused quarry.

View of the rocky coastline from the Dunderhole Point area. The promontory to the left is Higher Penhallic Point, with Lower Penhallic Point immediately behind. The islet in the centre is Gull Rock.

A wider view. The loose slate spoil fragments on the edge of the cliff here are treacherous...

A telephoto view of cushions of sea thrift growing in the slate fragments. It seems to thrive in this precarious habitat.

The sea twinkles below.

Both the slate and the sea have a silvery sheen.
