thequeensenglish: Carnewas & Bedruthan Steps, Cornwall, England. Carnewas & Bedruthan Steps is a stretch of coastline located on the north Cornish coast between Padstow and Newquay in Cornwall. Magnificent walks pass a succession of picture-postcard coves, windswept headlands and old-fashioned holiday resorts, this stretch of the coast path running north of Bedruthan, ranks among the prettiest in the south west. This landscape is synonymous with shipwrecks and smugglers, and the spectacular clifftop views look out over Bedruthan Steps, where a rank of colossal, pointed granite stacks march out of the Atlantic waves against a dramatic backdrop. These according to legend are stepping stones for the Giant Bedruthan. The National Trust has rebuilt the steep cliff staircase to the beach, but visitors need to be aware of the risk of being cut off by the tide. There is also a small National Trust café where you can seek shelter when the Atlantic wind gets up. Photo: by Julian Baird.Source: This is Cornwall. -- source link
