Morning, Levant Cliffs

About a mile before reaching Cape Cornwall on the coast path are Levant Cliffs. Walking around Levant is now a peaceful experience, especially in spring when wildflowers adorn the cliffs. But at the peak of mining the cliff tops would have reverberated with the noise of crushing machinery. Here the minerals that colour the cliffs create a rich palette of blue, green and white. This creates a sharp contrast to the flat silhouette of the chimneys of the disused engine houses poking out above the skyline.
