The beach below the Eastern side of Marazion on Turnpike Road - notice the cliffs are very crumbly just like Perranuthnoe

  1. I think it's quite sad.

    When we come down each year we see another bit of our favourite place disappear. I've just looked at a picture I've got from the same angle from 4 years ago and it's amazing how much has changed.

    Even the rock pools on the beach, which I remember when I was first taken down to Perranuthnoe by David 12 years ago have gone.

    We only need to look at the fact that Cliff Cottage has had to be moved back from the cliff edge to realise how real this is!

  2. Hi Susan, Don't think Cliff cottage is much further back - just a lot bigger and supposedly safe on long piles driven into the cliff - only time will tell! At least that side of the cliff is protected by the rock armour - but further along to the East it's very vulnerable to a big Southerly storm. The beach does change every year - in the Spring the sand was really high, but then some of it washed away - as it does. Sue

  3. Hi Sue,

    I thought part of the planning was to move it 300 meters from the cliff.

  4. Hi Susan, don't know if you'll see this - I didn't look back again to see your next comment - They could only move the build within it's own plot which would have made it too small - they have built the house over the area that had the garage on, but since the house is so large we think it's almost as far forward as before.
