This is part of the harbour at Bude, Cornwall. The mound, in the photo above, is known as Chapel Rock. It is said that there was once a hermitage on top of the rock - but this may well be just one of 'those' stories.
The photo below was taken in the 1890s so not much has changed.
The winds, though, are ideal for surfers and bodyboarders
The RNLI lifeguards were on duty as the sea was beginning to get choppy.
The RNLI orange dinghy has a special bit of equipment to get the dinghy back to dry land.
Looking down from the clifftop on Chapel Rock, Bude. It was beginning to rain slightly.
And finally looking across the shoreline and cliffs from Bude.
Unspoilt and very blustery, Cornwall must be super for the surfbording community.
ReplyDeleteHello David, thanks. There are some great surfing beaches - not that I surf! Newquay classes itself as the England's surfing capital.
