Porthmonia Cove is a little known, secluded bay on the West Coast of Cornwall. A few minutes from Rosemergy (where there is a brilliant tea shop), this beautful, rugged cove is hidden behind an old tin mine shaft head. Following a path down the slope towards the hills, you find a place where kestrels fly in the sky, a climbers brave the cliff faces. This is a brilliant spot for some sunset photography as the bay fills with light. It is especially nice in August when the purple heathers are in full bloom.
The affectionately name "The Rumps" at Polzeath in North Cornwall. The headland here is called Pentire Point, however they also have a far more amusing name, The Rumps, for obvious reasons. This is a beautiful walk on a summer evening, watching the sun drop on the horizon while waiting for the golden light to fill the bay. I personally preferred the afterglow, that purple and pink light, after the sun had set.
The Ribblehead Viaduct, on the Settle-Carlisle railway line is a classic example of how beautiful architecture can really add to a landscape. The 24 enormous stone arches span the Batty Moss valley at Ribblehead, providing both valuable transport links but also a visual link, allowing the eye to wander around the scene. Built between 1870 and 1874, the Ribblehead Viaduct is now a Grade II listed structure. It shouldn't be forgotten the toll that the construction of Ribblehead Viaduct had. 100's of Navvies lost their life, either as a direct result of the construction or due to the outbreak of disease in the supporting settlements.
