Angrouse Cliff is a prominent geological feature located along the coastline of Cornwall, England. It is part of the rugged and picturesque landscape that characterizes this region. The cliff is situated near the village of Angrouse and is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike.

Rising to a height of approximately 150 meters, Angrouse Cliff offers breathtaking views of the surrounding area and the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. Its sheer slopes are composed of sedimentary rocks, primarily consisting of sandstone and shale. These rocks have been shaped and carved by the forces of weathering and erosion over millions of years, resulting in the striking cliffs that we see today.

The cliff is known for its distinctive geological formations, including natural arches and caves, which have been created by the relentless pounding of the waves against the rock face. These features add to the allure of Angrouse Cliff and make it a popular spot for photographers and nature enthusiasts.

Visitors to Angrouse Cliff can explore the area by following well-maintained footpaths that wind their way along the cliff edge. These paths offer panoramic views of the surrounding countryside and provide opportunities for birdwatching and wildlife spotting. However, caution is advised when venturing close to the cliff edge, as it can be unstable and dangerous.

Overall, Angrouse Cliff is a stunning example of the natural beauty that Cornwall has to offer. Its dramatic slopes, geological formations, and breathtaking views make it a must-visit destination for anyone exploring the region.

Street furniture and signs in Mullion Village An unusual street scene taken from within Janet's pasty shop (called 'Munchies'). The clutter of street furniture and signs on this street corner is all too obvious and it is clear that the street is very narrow for cars and pedestrians alike. It is a view which is rather characteristic of such Cornish villages.

The photo includes the view of a traditional and very tasty pasty being hand-made by the owner. <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2423885">SW6719 : Traditional Cornish Pasty Shop</a>

The area from the Lizard around to Newlyn is where you can find some really excellent, high quality and tasty traditional pasties and all freshly made on the premises.<a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2174447">SW4629 : The Coombe - Aunty May's Pasty Shop</a> <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2423854">SW7012 : Ann's Pasties - a view inside the kitchen/shop</a>

Traditional Cornish Pasty Shop The area abounds with small shops and other outlets producing traditional Cornish pasties.  

This building is rather modern by comparison to the other buildings in and around the church in the middle of Mullion village. Janet the owner certainly produces excellent pasties and well worth a visit and a chat.

Mullion Garden - with compass rose and water feature In the year 2000, Mullion village underwent various forms of regeneration. One of improvements involved taking over an overgrown and neglected village green and transforming it into 'Mullion Garden'. 

This area is now a peaceful and beautiful community garden. It is an ideal location for relaxing in the sun. As a feature it has a water fountain set at the centre of a compass rose and surrounded by a long typical Cornish stone  wall which is designed to incorporate a long bench.

'Mullion Garden' was formally opened on 4 July 2002.

The Old Inn - Mullion This photo with a person outside the thatched building gives some indication of the scale of this old 16th century building now used as a public house.

There is newer building alongside and now all part of the pub. When seen side-by-side the difference in scale of the two buildings from different time periods can be seen very clearly.
