Walking The Beach At Charlestown, Cornwall

It was such a lovely morning on Sunday: cold, but mostly blue sky. We had a stroll around Charlestown harbour and then onto the stony beach via the tunnel.

The tide was out and the cliffs looked at their best.

We walked the full length of the beach - no great achievement as it's only a short distance - and reached the final rocks and stones, where we sat to enjoy the sunshine for a few moments.

We then did an about turn and meandered back to the harbour, while looking for interesting pebbles and stones. There were lots of rock pools as the tide was still fully out.

      The harbour was built to export local china clay and minerals found locally. That is now a thing of the past but there are often old tall sailing ships in dock - some are used in movies and in television series. It's an interesting place.

      Many thanks for your comments. It's only a small stony beach, so not much of a walk distance wise, but on a nice day it looks okay! Best wishes.
