Monolithic Stone Arch, Falmouth
The monolithic stone arch pictured here, is just one of the many interesting features to be found in the Gyllyngdune Gardens at Falmouth in Cornwall, England. The tall flat-topped arch was erected on the high ground which overlooks Falmouth Bay. Little is known about the arch but it is likely that it was cut from a quarry which is now the lower part of the garden and it may have been erected some time after 1837 when the house was competed and before 1907 when the gardens were opened to the public.

Approaching St Mawes Pier and Harbour
Approaching the stone pier and the harbour at St Mawes on the Roseland Peninsula of Cornwall, England. I captured the scene which shows several small boats moored along the quayside, while still aboard a ferry from Falmouth. The stone pier was built in 1536, but it was not until the St Mawes Pier & Harbour Company was formed in 1854 and an act of parliament, which then allowed the development of the pier and deepening of the harbour.

Overlooking Tintagel Haven
A picturesque view overlooking Tintagel Haven on the north west coast of Cornwall, England. This north facing cove has steep cliffs on both sides. The scene was captured from the westerly cliff, close to some of the Tintagel Castle remains and it shows the rocky easterly cliff which leads to Barras Nose. The swirling currents of the Atlantic Ocean on the incoming tide, added the splashes of white to the lovely ocean colours.

Smeaton's Pier and Lighthouse, St Ives
An evening view of Smeaton's Pier and the harbour lighthouse at St Ives in Cornwall, England. The pier which was named after its architect John Smeaton, was constructed between 1767 and 1770 by Thomas Richardson. In 1890, the pier was extended by a further 300 ft. which called for a new lighthouse to be built because the old lighthouse was then no longer at the end of the pier. The newer black and white painted cast iron lighthouse was manufactured by Stother and Pitt Ltd. in Bath, from a prefabricated design. The erection of this 32 ft. high lighthouse was also completed in 1890. Then following the success of this design, an identical lighthouse was built on the south breakwater at Mevagissey six years later.

Church Cove is situated on the west coast of the Lizard peninsular; it has a sand and pebble beach with rocky outcrops and a small church in the corner of the cove.
