Walking to Chapel Point and Colona Beach Cornwall



Today's post, sort of follows on from my previous post. The photos above and below show one of my favourite houses, somewhere I would love to live but, unfortunately, I'm a few million short at the moment!

Chapel Point house is high on a headland, and is near the coastal path mentioned in my last two posts.


Below the house is a small cove and Colona beach. It's often described as a private beach, but is quite accessible to the public.

On our walk, along the coastal path, we tarried here awhile to devour our packed lunch.


I snapped a few photos.


It was quite a windy day so the waves crashed a little as they reached the beach.


Lots of rockpools to investigate.


As can be seen there are a set of steps leading down to the beach from Chapel Point House.


Colona Beach is backed by sandy cliffs.


I nearly missed the bird as he blended in so well with the cliffs.


From the coastal path it can be seen that Chapel House is actually a cluster of several buildings. These were designed by the arts and crafts designer John Campbell in 1936.

The property is now Grade II listed.

Thanks for visiting my blog.
