For most people the beach starts at the Red River and continues to the headland. Facing due west it has views of St.Ives and the Penwith Moors beyond. The sandy beach above high water mark Cove with steps to the beach. At high water there is only a small area of fine golden sand but at low water the beach stretches for over 700m, interspersed with rocky outcrops, to the Red River where it joins the beach of Gwithian. In winter, much of the sand can often be replaced by areas of shingle. The beach can be quite exposed both from any wind from a westerly direction and also the Atlantic swell. Immediately north of the sandy Cove there is an accessible rocky foreshore with patches of The Cove with the iconic Godrevy Island and Lighthouse beyond shingle which is worth exploring but care needs to be taken not to be caught by an incoming tide TR27 5ED - The access road to the National Trust car parks is 1km north of Gwithian on There is rescue/safety equipment and RNLI the B3301 coast road from Hayle to Portreath by the lifeguards are on duty at the Red River end of the bridge over the Red River.

  • MA28 Policy Development Zone: PDZ10
    Location reference: Black Cliff to Godrevy Point Management Area reference: MA28 Policy Development Zone: PDZ10 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly SMP2 Final Report Chapter 4 PDZ10 32 February 2011 DISCUSSION AND DETAILED POLICY DEVELOPMENT Erosion and flood risk mapping indicates very low risk (and no assets at risk) at Black Cliff so no intervention would be required. No active intervention is the preferred approach. This would allow natural processes to dominate, satisfying high level objectives for the SMP. It would also support the criteria and designated features of the Gwithian to Mexico Towans SSSI. There may some loss of dune front expected in response to sea level rise along the Mexico to Gwithian Towans frontage. Continued blow out development along the dune front in response to access points from the holiday parks is also likely. Whilst a non-interventional approach is preferred to accommodate the natural variability of this area and allow natural response to climate change impacts, the dunes are under pressure from existing development and infrastructure and from access through the dunes. The Cornwall Beach and Sand Dune Management Strategy concluded that some management of the dune system is required. A Managed Realignment policy is therefore proposed to support this management, and a specific Dune Management Plan should be produced to direct the delivery of this policy. Although the dunes are anticipated to undergo erosion and rollback by up to 60m by 2105, it is possible that sufficient contemporary sources of sand and sediment exist in the nearshore zone to keep pace with rising sea levels and prevent significant roll back of the dune line occurring, at least in the short to medium term.

  • Cornwall in the Bronze Age AICIA M CISIE
    CORNISH ARCHAEOLOGY No. 25 (1986) Cornwall in the Bronze Age AICIA M CISIE The Concept of a Bronze 'Age' Any review of the Bronze Age in Cornwall, or indeed in other areas of the British Isles, must today present the writer with a very different prospect to that which lay before Bernard Wailes 28 years ago, although much of the basic information remains the same. We now know, for example, that metallurgy was introduced into these islands before the middle of the third millennium bc, probably from two continental quarters, the Rhineland and the Atlantic region. Our period has lengthened and the calibration of radiocarbon dates means that it not only overlaps the Late Neolithic but also merges into the Iron Age in the mid-first millennium BC, giving a total of some 2000 years. The accumulation of data and dates, togther with advances in excavation and research techniques and the recognition of regional variation, make the whole concept of a Bronze 'age' far more complex than hitherto. In the 1960s, HawkeV scheme for the divisions of the British Bronze Age provided the framework (Hawkes, 1960) and was widely accepted in principle. As more radiocarbon dates have become available, there have nevertheless been surprises and many refinements have been applied, allowing a broader, more flexible approach into which ceramics and metalwork can be fitted. Today the most widely accepted scheme is that propounded by Burgess (in 5/0 wo OE AGE SIES SS 00 SX - 2,0 Fig 1 Location map showing principal sites mentioned in the text. Settlements or occupation
