Our View
The south coast of Penwith vividly expresses the changes in human use of the land over time. The old Cornish names of the Iron Age cliff castles at Maen and Treryn Dynas, are testimony of an ancient people that once lived here. The valleys further east offer protection from the fierce Atlantic gales. Here small coves once enjoyed a thriving fishing industry, and later the lush valleys were worked to produce flowers for the London flower market. From the mid-18th century, Porthcurno was the centre of the worldwide submarine telegraph system. Now, 'information-soaked' fibreglass cables lie under the white pristine beach where unsuspecting holiday makers enjoy the tumbling surf of aquamarine seas.
