Cornish hedges are very special. The typical Cornish hedge is a stone-faced earth hedgebank with plants, bushes or trees growing along the top. It is called a hedge, never a hedgerow or wall and they are a haven for wildlife. The Jack and Jill herringbone-patterned slate hedges of North Cornwall are very picturesque with their beautiful wild flowers.
Below the wild flower meadows of West Pentire is Crantock beach on the western side of the Gannel estuary, next to the resort of Newquay.
Crantock Beach is a broad sand-dune backed strand between the twin headlands of Pentire Point East and Pentire Point West; Pentire meaning headland.
The Gannel estuary in North Cornwall separates Crantock from Pentire Point East and the town of Newquay.

Tranquil morning light twinkling on the surface of the water.
This is the view down Restronguet Creek to Carrick Roads from the pontoon of the Pandora Inn at Mylor Bridge, a short walk from my home.
Carrick Roads on the south coast of Cornwall is a section of the River Fal which forms a large waterway that was created at the end of the last Ice Age when sea levels rose dramatically and created a huge natural harbour, the third largest natural harbour in the world.
High tide in the morning at the Pandora Inn Mylor Bridge Cornwall.
The 13th century thatched pub with it's pontoon for visiting watercraft is one of the most popular in Cornwall, especially in the summer season.
Just a short walk from my home it was nice to have the place to myself as the sun came up over Feock and bathed the old stone walls with beautiful warm light.
A monochromatic image of the Pandora Inn, Mylor Bridge.
This beautiful 13th century inn is tucked away on the banks of Restronguet Creek near Falmouth, Cornwall.
Mylor Creek in April was so calm that the reflections of the yellow boat, houses, yachts and farmland were stunning.
I went out early as the sun was trying to break through a heavy morning sea mist and knew it would be a wonderful time to head off with my camera down to Greatwood Quay opposite Mylor Harbour in Cornwall.
As the haze lifted over Mylor Creek and the houses started to appear on Church Road that had earlier been hidden it turned into a stunning late May day.

The beautiful beach of Porthchapel, the lesser known neighbour of Porthcurnow on the south coast of Cornwall near Land's End, is overlooked by granite cliffs and, on the headland of Treryn Dinas is the Logan Rock, famously dislodged in the nineteenth century by a group of high-spirited British sailors.

Autumn in Mylor is beautiful as the trees change colour on the banks of the creek and many of the migrating birds with their various calls and whistles stop for a visit.

I had walked from Mylor Bridge to Mylor in beautiful sunlight with clear blue skies but as the afternoon arrived so did the threatening clouds. For a while the light was amazing, the sunrays hitting the boats and the seagulls, highlighting anything white.
The weather changed to rain and wind that night so I was very glad I'd gone for my walk that day.
