Nanjulian Cliff is a prominent and picturesque cliff located in Cornwall, a southwestern county in England. Situated on the rugged coastline, it stands tall and proud, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. With its stunning natural beauty and dramatic views, it is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts, hikers, and photographers.

The cliff is characterized by its steep slope, which is covered in lush green vegetation. The vegetation consists of a variety of plants and grasses, adding to the cliff's visual appeal. The slope is dotted with colorful wildflowers during the spring and summer months, creating a vibrant and enchanting landscape.

Nanjulian Cliff's geological features are equally impressive. The cliff is made up of sedimentary rocks, including layers of sandstone and shale, which have been shaped by millions of years of erosion by wind and waves. This erosion has created unique formations and patterns within the cliff, making it a geological marvel.

The cliff offers breathtaking views of the surrounding area, including the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean and the rugged coastline. On a clear day, visitors can even see as far as the Isles of Scilly, an archipelago located approximately 28 miles off the coast.

Nanjulian Cliff is not only a natural wonder but also holds historical significance. It has been a site of human activity for thousands of years, with evidence of ancient settlements and burial mounds found nearby. The cliff serves as a reminder of the rich history and heritage of the region.

Overall, Nanjulian Cliff is a captivating and awe-inspiring destination, where visitors can immerse themselves in the beauty of nature and experience the majesty of Cornwall's coastline.

Mine Shaft at Carn Leskys The cliffs to the south of Porth Nanven are riddled with old mine workings and shafts, many of which are not as well marked as this. It is not a good idea to stray from the footpath around here.

Carn Gribba from Carn Leskys It looks like the coast path should have an easy route around the base of Carn Gribba but in fact it doubles back on itself to go over the top.  This is because on the far side of Carn Gribba is a steep cliff with no place for a footpath.

Vegetation above Carn Leskys At the top of the cliff the bracken and grass makes way for some coastal heathland dominated by heather and gorse.
