It’s always nice heading back to the places I once took for granted while growing up. As seen in the photo above, Cape Cornwall never fails to remind me why I fell in love with this landscape in the first place. The only cape in England, it offers a dramatic meeting point between land, sea, and sky — and a perfect subject for any Cornish photographer.
If you look just to the left, the Longships Lighthouse stands quietly out at sea — a steadfast marker against the Atlantic swell. Our visit was brief, but moments like these always remind me how special it feels to return home to Cornwall.
St. Helen’s Oratory, seen here, dates back to somewhere between the 8th and 10th centuries. It’s a place of quiet beauty — calm and still despite its exposed position to the wind and weather rolling in from the Atlantic.
Behind me stretches Kenidjack Valley, a place that once echoed with the sounds of Cornwall’s tin industry. Once a powerhouse that sent Cornish tin across the globe, it now rests in silence — a haunting reminder of the county’s industrial heritage.
