A lovely spot to sit & watch a sunset over St Micheal’s Mount

This is a nice combination. From Loe Baar you have a view of the sea on one side and a view of a freshwater lake on the other. This allows you to walk completely around the lake.

Loe Bar was originally the mouth of the River Cober which led to a harbor at Helston. However, by the 13th century the bar had cut Helston off from the sea and formed the lake. Loe Bar consists largely of chert deposits, although it is not certain where this comes from as the nearest source is more than 200 kilometers away. There is also a reasonable amount of sand.

Cudden Point is located between Perranuthnoe and Prussia Cove on the south coast of Cornwall. This spit of land protruding far out to sea guarantees dramatic views of the rugged coastline. Ideal picnic spot.

It might not look like it, but there is a bridleway here which crosses the sand bank, Loe Bar. The lake, the Loe, is the largest freshwater lake in Cornwall and the coastal bar separates it from the sea. It was once the mouth of the River Cober. Some say it was formed when two local giants had an argument and one of them dropped a bag of sand here as he was being attacked by the other throwing rocks at him, one of which being St Michael's Mount. No wonder he was keen to get away!

Hayle Estuary Nature Reserve is managed by the RSPB and is the most westerly estuary in the country. The warm climate means it doesn't freeze over so it is a place of great safety during harsh winters. Each year around 18000 birds migrate to the estuary and the RSPB are helping to ensure this area is protected for their use.

Carwynnen Quoit is a dolmen that dates to the Neolithic period. In 1966, the monument collapsed due to an earth tremor and was re-erected in 2014. While the monument is not quite as striking as others nearby, it still has a captivating atmosphere.
