A local bit of woodland, with some interesting species on display. Amazing how the place has changed through the year.

A day around Tintagel, wizard not included. Dark age and medieval walls slowly crumble into the sea. Tourists amble among the grassy slopes and ruins, pausing to catch their breaths on stairs that wind themselves around the miniature island. The tide thunders below against the slate. This was once a natural harbour, though only seals come ashore now.

A brief respite, rebuilding the soul. Bright autumnal skies and sea spray. Humbling cliffs caked in seagulls. Big walks and wood fires. Well-earned meals.

This is a gallery well worth checking out. Spencer’s photos have a wonderful composition. He captures breathtaking landscapes in unusual light.
