Portheras Cove	West Penwith

The landscape is ancient. Fields are small and the stones cleared to form the boundaries. The area has changed little since the Iron and Bronze age. West Penwith is an Environmentally Sensitive Area (ESA) which seeks to encourage sympathetic farming techniques.

Please observe the warning signs at Portheras. Sharp metal lies stroon on the beach from the 1963 wreck of Alacrity.

A CDROM version of the PhotoTour with over 540 high-quality photos of larger size is available from the Association's shop.
