A self-proclaimed "sea shack" at Millook, 5 miles from Bude, Cornwall.
Taken from the road just to the south. The "then" must have been a very high tide but then the surfing is much celebrated here. SJ.

Another angle and yours to rent.
And this is from a cliff path to the north off the road to Widemouth Bay. A former tea room and rent is currently £1,500 per week. SJ.

Moore walks from her Cornish cottage round the corner at Porthdinllean, Wales. This is on a peninsula jutting out to the Irish Sea, west of Nefyn and Anglesey.
