More about this scene
Gently winds the lane down between stone banks towards this picturesque fishing village of whitewashed cottages and bright spring flowers. Out in the bay a mile and a half from the shore are the dreaded Manacles, a reef that has been the downfall of many a ship down the centuries. A steamer puffs placidly by. Coverack men were infamous for smuggling, and early coastguards reported that '7,000 ankers of brandy' had been run ashore in a single 12-month period.
