More about this scene

This stretch of coast is one of Cornwall's famous beauty spots, with dramatic cliffs and islands all accessible by road from Newquay and Padstow alike. A difficult descent can be made to the golden sand (see the footprints, centre), but this is a very easy place to get cut off by the tide.

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

September 2012 my three adult children and some extended family travelled to the Bedruthan Steps with my dear mother's ashes. We walked the beach for a long while before deciding on a special place to scatter them. It was at the Queen Bess Rock we chose, not knowing the name of the particular rock. A very beautiful and fitting place for such a special day.
