Coastal and Landscape Photography

Cornwall is the most southwesterly county in mainland England and covers an area of 1376 square miles (3563km²) it has only one land border – Devon in the east – and 433 miles (697km) of coastline. Many residents and scholars consider Cornwall (Kernow in the Cornish language) to be one of the six Celtic nations. The county is renowned for its wild moorland landscape and varied and extensive coastline. Also notable is the county’s Stone Age and industrial archaeology, particularly its historical mining [mainly tin and copper] landscape, a World Heritage Site since 2006. Truro is the county town and administrative centre and also the only city [cathedral] in the county. Land’s End at the southwest tip of the peninsula is mainland England’s most westerly point. Located in Mount's Bay is one of England’s most famous and dramatic coastal attractions St Michael's Mount, a rocky island topped with a medieval church and castle; it is a National Trust property and home to a living community and often referred to as the jewel in the crown of Cornwall. Inland is the wild landscape of Bodmin Moor, designated an area of outstanding natural beauty and covering an area of 80 square miles (208km²), the highest point on the moor – in fact the county – is Brown Willy at 1378ft (420m) above sea level.
