Mullion Cove

natural

Mullion's tiny harbour, protected by two great harbour walls of serpentine stone, is one of the most photographed in Cornwall — and for good reason. The combination of the old pilchard cellars, the cove's dark volcanic cliffs, and the green sea breaking over the rocks gives it a quality that painters have been trying to capture for a century and a half.

Kynance Cove

natural

Regarded by many as the most beautiful cove in England, Kynance's serpentine rock stacks, turquoise sea and white sand are of a quality that seems almost tropical. The serpentine — the rare green and red stone found only here and in Oman — gives the rocks their extraordinary colour. The National Trust manages the approach, and the cafe above the cove is famous for its crab sandwiches.
