Beaches and attractions in the
Gorran Haven area |
|
|
|
|
On the left is vault beach, a rugged short walk along the cliff path from Gorran Haven, or a steep walk from the National trust car park at the top. This area is totally unspoilt and provides excellent walks. Although the beach is very large, the sand is quite course. Not suitable for the bucket and spade brigade but there some excellent rock pools to explore.
The picture on the right is just one of the many views along this stretch of coastline
