 - Bedruthern Steps, CornwaII
- A
shear drop of 300 ft to a beach out of which a line of black
gnarled crags rises some 200 ft. Here in I846 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.
