The altar in St Levan Church Seen on the occasion of the church's 2011 flower festival - the theme was 'Songs from the Shows' and the beautiful display on the altar takes as its theme 'Jesus Christ Superstar'.

Heather on Higher Bosistow Cliffs There are two well-defined tracks across the heather, the coastal path and an inland route towards Higher Bosistow.  This is the area of heather moorland in between.

Porth Chapel This beach is easily reached from St Levan, so I was surprised it was not busier.  There was footprint evidence that it had been used earlier in the day though.

Towards St Levan From the coastal path, looking up a small valley that is followed by the path towards the village.  There are bits of four squares visible here, the house being in <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/gridref/SW3822">SW3822</a>.

Pausing for a breather This is the view looking back towards the beach at Porth Chapel and the headland beyond, Pedn-men-an-mere <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/gridref/SW3821">SW3821</a>, having descended then ascended from there along the coastal path.  The undulating nature of the path is such that this view will quickly disappear, to be replaced by a new one ahead.

First view of Porthgwarra Along the undulating coastal path, this view opens up to the west, and the path descends through scrub and woodland to Portgwarra.

Tunnel at Porthgwarra One way onto the beach is through this tunnel.  This is man-made, providing less steep access than via the slipway.

Slipway at Porthgwarra This is a steep slipway, but has a winch for boats.  There is a less-steep access via a rock tunnel out of shot to the left.

Watch the birdie A typical sub-editors headline, which I am sure all birdwatchers hate.  This group is perched on a rock ledge above Porthgwarra trying to see and photograph a group of choughs, that had apparently been earlier sighted in the area.

Towards Porth Loe When heading west past the Gwennap Head coastwatch station the view changes again as we look down upon Porth Loe and, beyond, Pellitras Point <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/gridref/SW3622">SW3622</a>.  The wind was strong, very strong.

Porth Loe Unusually this is a shingle beach, possibly because lumps of rock keep falling off and are eroded and rounded by the sea but the area is too small for sand to form.  I don't know.  The wind was very strong and the sea rough today.
