A stunning bit of coastline to the west of Portreath beach; Basset's Cove is one of my favourite spots but I recently discovered this little cove just next to it as well (shown in the video).

Berrynarbor is a village and civil parish in the North Devon district of Devon, England. According to the 2001 census it had a population of 749, increasing to 802 at the 2011 census. The village is located near Exmoor and is about three miles east of Ilfracombe. It is also the neighbour of Combe Martin.
The village contains a small school, Berrynarbor VC Primary School which is voluntary controlled, and a voluntary controlled and run village shop. Other shops in the village's area are on the Mill Park camp-site and, during the summer, on Watermouth Valley Camping Park, which is on the scenic walk to Watermouth Harbour. There are two pubs: Ye Olde Globe which is a character village pub, and The Sawmill Inn which is on the outskirts of the village. There are guest houses and tearooms, along with the St Peter's Church in the main village square and Watermouth Castle.
St Peter's Church has a 15th-century tower, a 17th-century lychgate and a Norman font. The church tenor bell was recently restored through donations from the village and can now be heard every Sunday morning during the church service. Berrynarbor has within its purview to all sides a mixture of dense woodlands and farms and lies within the North Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Directly adjoining the village to the west is the neighbourhood or locality of Lee, divided into Lee Wood and three main estates, few of which are subdivided as each is a relatively small mixed residential/agricultural holding Middle Lee, North Lee and South Lee.
Contiguous to Lee, climbing the road to Ilfracombe in a long northern curve is a line of property forming these settlements. East Hagginton within the manor of Berrynarbor was an estate mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086. Lying along the valley floor to the south is another unbroken line of properties named Steridge, connected to the main village centre, occupying the lower Steridge Valley slightly higher than the village. Steep wooded slopes here give rise to springs, and on one eastern slope is the park homes resort/retreat of Berrynarbor Park here.
Watermouth to the north becomes a substantial hamlet in holiday season and its wide sandy outlet, as the name implies is directly beneath its castle. Watermouth Castle here is a Grade II* listed country home, started 1825-6 with final works 1845 by George Wightwick.[6] The Bassett family mentioned above sold this in 1946 to assist in paying an inheritance tax bill.

Wheal Prosper and Rinsey Cove, Cornwall UK. Mavic 2 Zoom Cinematic 4k
A late evening flight across the cliffs of Rinsey Cove, taking in the Wheal Prosper mine and nearby scenery.
Despite its name Wheal Prosper was not a hugely successful mine, working for only six years between 1860-1866. It was intended to mine tin and copper from the Porthcew Lode
The engine house is dramatically situated on the cliff tops of Rinsey over-looking Rinsey Cove and Porthcew Beach 3 miles from Portleven. Built of granite and killas slate taken from the local clifftops this fine engine house was home to a 30 inch pump.
There were 3 shafts most notable of which is the now capped Michell's Whim shaft measuring an estimated 420ft in depth.
The site has been under the stewardship of the National Trust since 1969.

HARRY POTTER LINK
Harry Potters Ford Anglia featured in the movie Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets was stolen from the South West Film studios in St Agnes, Cornwall in 2006. It was found in the grounds of the castle.
Police were left baffled as to how the 1962 car, which has no engine, was stolen and they feared thieves would sell it on for scrap or on the black market.
Carn Brea Castle, where the car was found, bears a striking resemblance to the Hogwarts School of Wizardry and Witchcraft which features in the Harry Potter books.
CASTLE HISTORY
Carn Brea Castle on Carn Brea is a 14th-century grade II listed granite stone building which was extensively remodelled in the 18th century as a hunting lodge in the style of a castle for the Basset family. The building is now in private use as a restaurant.
The Castle is a small stone folly decorated in the romantic ideal style of a medieval/gothic castle. It has an irregular layout with 4 rectangular turrets round a core of the same height and an embattled parapet. The building is built into a large stone outcrop with a steep drop on the rear. The building was designed as a hunting lodge rather than a dwelling and measures 60 feet by 10 feet.
The Castle was originally built as a chapel, in 1379, thought to be dedicated to St Michael It has been extensively rebuilt in different periods since, primarily in the 18th century by the Basset family as a hunting lodge. It is considered a Folly castle, due to the huge uncut boulders that make up part of its foundations, giving the impression of the building melting into the land.
Its use as a beacon for ships was recorded in 1898 when stipulated in the lease, the tenant agreeing to show a light in the north facing window. The castle had periods of disuse and disrepair in the 1950s to 1970s, until private renovation in 1975-1980.The building was classed by English Heritage as grade II listed in 1975.
In the 1980s the building was converted into a Middle Eastern cuisine restaurant

Portreath is a civil parish, village and fishing port on the north coast of Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. The village is about three miles northwest of Redruth. The village extends along both sides of a stream valley and is centred on the harbour and beach. West of the harbour entrance and breakwater are two sandy beaches which are popular with holidaymakers and surfers.
Portreath lies within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Almost a third of Cornwall has AONB designation, with the same status and protection as a National Park. Separately, in early 2017, the village was looking to be a hedgehog friendly village. It would join Burton Fleming in East Yorkshire as one of a handful of hedgehog friendly villages in the UK.
The name Portreath (meaning sandy cove) was first recorded in 1485 and tin streaming in the valley was recorded from 1602. By 1827 Portreath was described as Cornwall's most important port and Portreath was, with Devoran on the south coast, one of the main ports for sending the copper ore mined in the Gwennap area to Swansea for smelting. With a growing population a church was built in 1827, the Portreath Hotel (1856), Methodist Chapel (1858), Basset Arms (1878) and the School (1880) all followed.
The Portreath Tramroad, the first railway in Cornwall, was started in 1809 to link the harbour with the copper mines at Scorrier and St Day. By 1812 the tramroad reached Scorrier House, one of the financiers houses, and was completed by 1819. The Portreath branch of the Hayle Railway was opened in 1838. To the south of the harbour, and on the west side of the valley, are the remains of the old cable-worked incline which linked the harbour to the mainline at Carn Brea.
The Portreath incline was, one of four on the Hayle Railway and was 1,716 ft (523 m) long with a rise of about 240 ft (73 m). The railways and Portreath Tramroad associated with the minerals trade today form the Mineral Tramways Coast to Coast, a long distance cycleway and footpath extending 15 miles (24 km) from Portreath to the south coast.

Kayak Trip - Portreath to Gwithian Beach - Cornwall - UK
My second kayaking video made in Cornwall UK.
September 2012 Kayak trip from Portreath to Gwithian approximately 8 miles, with our usual larking around took us just over 4 hours. A funny Usain Bolt sketch at 30 seconds into the video, more like insane bolt but much faster!!!!.
Cornwalls coast is full of interesting coastal views and areas to explore, join me and my brother on another adventure.
The footage was filmed on a Lumix DMC-FT20 mounted on a monopod placed in a 90 degree rod holder. It is possible to capture 90 minutes of filming with the battery and a 16gig SD card was used. I need to look at making some kind of sun shield to fit to the top of it, but overall I am pleased with the performance.
It is an amazing trip, with seals and loads of birds, a few nudists on the odd beach. We tried a spot of fishing but did not catch on this trip.
We passed, secret surf spots like Bassets cove, the North Cliff nudist beaches and the wreck of the Cecil Japan, not much remains of the coastal steamer which was wrecked at Hell´s Mouth carrying a cargo of wood, the Cecil Japan met her fate at 17th March 1989. The crew was saved by heroic helicopter rescue and a local lifeboat with the exception of one sailor who fell back into the sea. This reminds us, should we need reminding, of the dangers sea fairer s throughout the world face earning a living, our local naval rescue crews are outstanding.
Behind the wreck you will notice the fresh cliff fall that was famously captured on video and made the national news. link - .
Passing Godrevy Light House we encountered some stronger currents but nothing too difficult.
We had a fun landing on the beach due to the fact the surf had got up a bit and the long kayaks hate the surf.
