South of Widemouth Bay in North Cornwall, Penhalt Cliff rises steeply in the direction of Millook. The coast here makes up part of the Cornwall National Landscape, formerly known as the #Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The coastline, largely wild and undeveloped, lies within the rural parish of Poundstock. The medieval church at Poundstock is dedicated to the 5th century Celtic saint, Winwaloe, while closeby is a grade I listed gildhouse dating back to the 16th century. The contorted rocks in the cliffs at Millook can best be appreciated from Millook Haven beach. *Andrew Townsend is a journalist and writer.
