Another day we took a trip to Kynance Cove and Mullion Cove, both close to The Lizard Peninsula.
Kynance has been popular since Victorian times. It is a remote pretty cove, with white sand, islands and caves. Now owned by the National Trust who have built a carpark on the downs and two ways down to the beach, one a gravel path steep in places and the other walk is very rugged with steep steps, rocky path and very steep. On a rocky outcrop overlooking the beach is a cafe with breathtaking views of the turquoise waters.
Our next visit was to Mullion Cove. Originally built in 1890's the picturesque harbour shelters a small fishing fleet from the powerful westerly storms.
the day we were there the harbour walls were closed off as there had been a landslide. We sat near the harbour watching a group of people having what appeared to be their first lesson in kayaking in the sheltered harbour.
The one small cafe there is famous for their huge crab sandwiches which Colin tried.
