Lamorna

Lamorna Cove is on the Penwith peninsula, beyond Penzance. It is accessed via a lush, verdant valley, awash with wildflowers in spring. 

The cove was once used to quarry granite that was shipped all over the country from its small quay. It also nurtured an artist colony in the early 20th century who were attracted by the seclusion and beauty of the cove. 

Today it is privately owned with public access to a small, pebbly beach, ANPR monitored car park and cafe.
