Godrevy Cove is a picturesque coastal area located in Cornwall, England. Nestled along the rugged Atlantic coastline, it offers visitors a stunning blend of natural beauty and tranquility. The cove is characterized by its pristine sandy beach, crystal-clear waters, and breathtaking views of the surrounding cliffs and rock formations.

Situated near the mouth of the Hayle Estuary, Godrevy Cove is also known for its diverse ecosystem. The estuary serves as a vital habitat for a variety of bird species, including cormorants, gulls, and herons. Birdwatchers often flock to the area to catch a glimpse of these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat.

At low tide, the cove reveals a vast expanse of sand, providing ample space for beachgoers to relax, sunbathe, and enjoy various water activities. The clear waters are perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and kayaking, attracting both locals and tourists alike.

The rugged cliffs that surround Godrevy Cove offer stunning panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean. Many visitors enjoy taking leisurely walks along the coastal path, which leads to the iconic Godrevy Lighthouse. This striking landmark, perched on a small island just off the coast, adds to the charm and allure of the area.

Godrevy Cove is a place where visitors can immerse themselves in the beauty of nature, unwind, and reconnect with the elements. With its stunning sea views, diverse wildlife, and tranquil surroundings, it truly is a hidden gem on Cornwall's coastline.

Junction on the coastal path The diverted route via Treglohan reaches the bottom of the hill and the coastal path. The sign on the right warns users of the coastal path of the hazards of blasting in the quarries off to the left.

Stone stile and warning sign, coastal path The sign warns of the possibility of blasting in Dean Quarry ahead. The pole to the left is one of the warning flagpoles. At the time the quarry seemed disused. The large upright stone of the stile is presumably the 'Stone' marked on larger scale maps. It has a large 'W' crudely carved on it. There are no administrative boundaries around here, so a property boundary marker?

Shore near Lowland Point The area is mapped as 'Polcries', there in no significant near feature other than the beach of large stones, so perhaps that is what it is called.
