The view in a north westerly direction from Ranie Point. The small beach in the foreground is Barrett's Zawn and the promontory immediately behind is Delabole Point. The coastline at Tintagel can be glimpsed in the far distance.
The view in a south westerly direction over Bounds Cliff. Buildings at Port Isaac are just visible in the far distance.

The sky is overcast but there is still colour in the sea of Port Isaac Bay.

The coast path above Pigeon's Cove. Red campion blooms on either side.

The view in a westerly direction. The nearest promontory is Main Head and the Port Gaverne inlet lies just beyond. Varley Head is on the horizon.

Looking north. The clouds cast dramatic shadows on the sea.

Sea birds soar over Port Isaac Bay by Main Head, to the east of Port Gaverne. Tintagel Island can be made out on the horizon.

Kidney vetch blooming on the cliff.

Their yellow flowers look beautiful against the soft turquoise sea.

The view of the cliffs in an easterly direction from Main Head, under clear winter skies.

I love this contrast between the light and shadow on the sea. The shadow is being cast by cliffs at Port Gaverne.

A view over Port Isaac Bay.
The cliffs curve around to Tintagel, with Tintagel Island being visible in the far distance. The nearest promontory is Main Head and Castle Rock, to the east of Port Gaverne. The orange blooms of crocosmia carpet the foreground cliff.

Seed heads of sea thrift growing on the cliff nearby.

Just sea.
