I have been longing to get down to Cornwall for a walk along the coast path and to swim in the sea. Fortunately Cornwall is not too far away to visit, even just for a long day if you set off early, and drive back after you have enjoyed the sunset on the coast.
When I was much younger I remember being able to walk across the grass to these sea stacks by way of several - and quite substantial - arches. Now most of them have fallen into the sea, leaving the sea stacks standing in isolation.

The estuary of the River Camel has fine sandy beaches on each side of the river. At low tide these are particularly spectacular. This photo was taken near Rock, which is across the river from Padstow.

Wheal Coates is one of the most famous tin mines in Cornwall. In Cornish, "wheal" means mine, and the North Cornish coast has many remains of old tin mines. At Wheal Coates, in between St Agnes and Chapel Porth, there are substantial remains including the Towanroath Shaft Pumping Engine House, which was built in 1872 and helped to drain the adjacent mining shaft which was some 600 feet deep, well below sea level. The mine workings had probably been in use for several hundred years, long before the Victorians introduced their steam engines. The surrounding land belongs to the National Trust.
