View from Halzephron Cliff

The coastal path makes a right-angled turn here; just as well as straight on is a steep drop towards this cove, and the Pedngwinian offshore rocks just in the next square.

Towards Halzephron Cove

The view from Halzephron Cliff towards the cove of the same name, and the eponymous house above it, which is a high quality holiday home.

Graham Horn

Along Halzephron Cliff

From above Halzephron Cove this view is along the cliff of the same name. The coastal path says on the top, with good views seawards. The beach here is virtually inaccessible from the land.

Gunwaloe Fishing Cove

The house nearest to us appears to be a holiday home. It has the Union flag flying but a German-registered car in the drive. This is the most southerly section of the sands that go all the way to Porthleven, but are not always accessible at the Blue Rocks headland in the middle distance.

House at Gunwaloe Fishing Cove

This house on the cliff above the cove is being done up, perhaps to be a holiday let. It has a stunning location above the cove and by the coastal path.

Coastal Path near Chyvarloe

A small section of the coastal path above Porthleven Sands goes through this square. Such a small amount that this view is almost identical to Philip Halling's take on the same place a few months earlier SW6523 : Coast path above Porthleven Sands

Graham Horn

Coast at Blue Rocks

Blue Rocks are to our right, and the extension of Porthleven Sands from here is called Gunwalloe Fishing Cove beach, after the hamlet at the far end of the sands.

Coastal path towards Loe Bar

The path drops gently towards the monument, in this square, and the Low Bar, mainly in SW6424. The contrast between the sea, salt water, to the left, and The Loe, fresh water, to the right, is best seen from up here.

HMS Anson Monument and Loe Bar

This monument commemorates the men of HMS Anson, who were drowned when the ship ran around here in 1807 and they could not get ashore. As a result local man Henry Trengrouse invented the rock life-saving apparatus, which has prevented similar deaths. Beyond is Loe Bar, originally an inlet to the River Loe that allowed ships to reach Helston, but subsequently partly naturally and partly man-assisted was closed off by this bar.

Graham Horn

The Loe and Loe Bar

The River Loe used to allow ships to reach Helston, more than two miles inland. These daysThe Loe is a freshwater lake, separated from the sea (behind us) by this shingle bar, Loe Bar. Plants struggle to gain a foothold here, and the winter storms often bring the sea over the bar.

Graham Horn

Loe Bar

The view from a permissive path through the Penrose estate, that overlooks Loe Bar. The area of sand and shingle separating the freshwater lake The Loe from the sea can be clearly seen.

Cyclists on Loe Bar

We watched two cyclists pushing their bikes across the soft sand and shingle of Loe Bar. I'm afraid I had no sympathy. The only routes accessing Loe Bar are footpaths, so they should not have been there anyway.
