Cornwall north coast - Portreath to Gwithian

one of several galleries covering the coast path of North Cornwall and the beaches along the way

This stretch is very approachable with plenty of free car parks and several just accessible beaches so that you can match your route to the time.

NB 2012 the ******* council has officially closed the path down to fishing cove, but fortunately includes a couple of horizontal rails which some local wire artists have converted to a stile

Hi Chris. Lovely photos! I am not so good with birds of prey but we saw two birds of prey on the dunes opposite the sandsifter at Godrevy. They had really fluffy legs and were pretty big and I am pretty sure they were not Buzzards! Would they have been Peregrine Falcons or are there other sorts of birds of prey in that area?
