Landscape Photos of Cornwall

A gallery of photos from various coastal locations around Cornwall.

A selection of photos from Kennall Vale Nature Reserve, one of the most beautiful locations in Cornwall. Kennall Vale is a 20 acre nature reserve, which has grown up around the ruins of an old gun powder factory. The factory was built in 1812 and employed up to 50 men in its prime. In 1838 the valley was shaken to it roots, when a series of explosions blew up 5 of the mills!!! Surprisingly there was only one fatality, with one other person being seriously injured. The factory recovered from the explosions and continued to operate until 1914, at which point production of gunpowder ceased. Since then the factory has fallen to ruin, and nature has reclaimed the valley.

A gallery of photos from Bodmin Moor one of the most beautiful locations in Cornwall. . . . Bodmin Moor is one of the last unspoilt areas in the South West, it is dominated by granite tors which tower over the sweeping expanse of the open moorland. Steeped in history dating back some 4000 years Bodmin Moor is an awe inspiring place. It is surprisingly small, covering an area of approximately ten square miles. Although, due to the sweeping expanse of the open moorland, it feels a lot more lonely and desolate than its size suggests.

A gallery of photos taken from Tehidy Woods in Cornwall. Tehidy woods is situated in West Cornwall between Camborne and Portreath. The woods are part of Tehidy Country Park, a beautiful country park which encompasses some 250 acres, There are around 9 miles of woodland trails stretching throughout the park, providing access to all.
