West Cornwall posters

The far west — where the granite spine of Britain runs out into the Atlantic. Penwith holds the iconic edges: Land's End and Sennen on the Atlantic side, Cape Cornwall and the Crowns engine houses at Botallack, the long cliff path through Pendeen, Zennor, and Bosigran. Mount's Bay arcs from Penzance round to Marazion and St Michael's Mount. The Lizard peninsula falls south to Britain's southernmost point at Lizard Point, with the fishing villages of Cadgwith and Coverack tucked along its sides.

The light here is famously clear — what brought the Newlyn and St Ives painters in the first place. Aerial photography catches what land-based shots miss: the relationship between cliffs, sea, and headland in a single frame.
