Heavy sea at Poldhu Cove, near Mullion, Cornwall

The building on the cliff top is a care home (Hope I'll be able to afford to go there when the time comes).

Marconi Monument - top feature

This is a close up of the stone feature on the top of the monument to Marconi's success in trans-Atlantic communications. No doubt that is reflected in the choice of the stone globe on the top of the monument represents the Earth. SW6619 : The Marconi Monument

Towards Angrouse Farm

We had started, only 10 minuts earlier, in rain, but the sun came out quickly after the rain stopped and the barley here was glistening. At the far end of this footpath, near Angrouse Farm, John Wesley preached a sermon on 7th September 1762. There is a stone marking the location, which is a listed structure.

Wild flowers at Angrouse Lane

The lane from Angrouse Farm towards the Marconi monument was full of wild hedgerow plants. Here is one of them, which hopefully someone will identify for me.

Marconi monument

This monument is close to the spot where, in 1901, Marconi sent the first radio signal across the Atlantic. Nearby is the location of Poldhu Wireless Station, which operated between 1900 and 1933. In the foreground is a typical Cornish wall, of stones laid one end.

Poldhu Cove

Coming from the south this is the first view of Poldhu Cove, a deep but narrow inlet. Beyond, in SW6620 is Church Cove, which we will get to later.

Poldhu Cove

This is a popular cove, because the length of the cove means that there is a nice section of relatively sheltered water before the open sea. On the far cliff top is Poldhu Point Hotel.

Polurrian Cove from Henscath

Poldu Point is in the mid distance (with Poldu Care Home showing up as a white building) and to its right Angrouse Cliff. To the left of Poldu is Halzephron Cliff and beyond that Penzance.
