Bedruthern Cornwall

Bedruthern Steps St.Mawgen Cornwall.
Bedruthern Steps, CornwaII has a shear drop of 300 ft to a beach out of which a line of black gnarled crags rises some 200 ft.  Here in 1846 the brig Samariton, laden with cargo from the Orient, was wrecked, with the result that surprisingly exotic wares appeared in many humble Cornish cottages .
 
The view is best on a sunny evening.

A visit to the National Trust Property is well worth while.

The cliff here is not broad sweeping but is indented with little coves and isolated islands of rocks, which gives good shelter.

Bedruthan Steps beach

The sand is fine and golden and shelves moderately into the sea. Apart from the large red warning notices it makes a delightful scene. The dangers however are very real. The currents are very strong close to the coast and it is not safe to swim. The attractive coves are cut off at high water.
