On a cold, sunshine and showers sort of day in January I watched from Long Rock Beach near Marazion as the glorious sky changed colour while the sun set over Penzance in Cornwall.

One of the most beautiful and most dangerous places in Cornwall, Crantock on the north coast is a popular spot with the flower covered cliffs of West Pentire above and the Gannel River flowing down the east side of the wide, dune backed beach. But there are strong, dangerous currents in the Gannel Estuary which separates Crantock from Pentire Point East and the town of Newquay. At high tide it is very easy to get cut off and at low tide quicksand can be a problem so be aware of the tide times and stay safe.

St Mawes is a beautiful castle on the Roseland in south west Cornwall any time of day, even more so at sunset.
It sits majestically on the hill opposite it's larger partner, Pendennis Castle guarding the entrance of Falmouth Harbour and Falmouth Bay.
As the sun sets over The Brisons it looks like General De Gaulle is enjoying a bath.
The Brisons are a twin-peaked islet that is often said resembles Charles De Gaulle lying on his back one nautical mile offshore from Cape Cornwall and Porth Nanven.
Porth Nanven Cove lies at the end of Cot Valley, a secluded area of beach with interesting geological features (giving it the nickname Dinosaur Egg Beach) and an extensive history associated with the St Just mining area and the perfect place to watch the sun go down.

Porth Nanven lies at the end of Cot Valley which has an extensive history associated with the St Just mining area in the far west of Cornwall.
Porth Nanven is Cornish for “port of the rocky valley”. It is also known as Pornanven, and colloquially as Cot Valley Beach. It is a place undiscovered by most holiday makers as the cove is generally made up of boulders so it’s not ideal if you are hunting for golden sands but it is a location loved by photographers and dinosaur egg hunters.

Cot valley is a beautiful valley dissected by a narrow stream running northwest to the coast between Land’s End and Cape Cornwall. At the bottom of the sub-tropical valley you will find Cot Valley Beach, also known as Porth Nanven Cove.

Lands End, a headland and small settlement in western Cornwall, is a good places to watch the sun set as it is the most westerly point of mainland Cornwall and England.

It won't be long before those that enjoy a glass or two of Skinners Ales will be enjoying this crop in the local pubs.
