The Carracks A main island and several additional rocks that protrude above the mean sea level a few hundred metres off the coast at Treveal Cliff.  This is the location that the seal watching boats from St Ives usually come to.  Indeed there was one boat there as we watched, and, with binoculars, we could see a few seals from here.

Cove River Is that its name?  The coastal path crosses this river, really a brook, on a stone footbridge here.  The brook drops another 50 metres to the coast at a place called River Cove.  How much are the names tautologous?
