Cliffs from Poor Man to Well Cove

Poor Man Image can just be made out on the left, while the entrance to Well Cove is on the right. The kayak is pointing just to the right of Black Cove (1) - which is probably the one referenced by the Ordnance Survey Namebook "A natural cavern, under the cliff, on the coast, Situated South of the Well Cove." It is at least 50m long, curving round to the right inside. To its right is Black Cove (2) which is less impressive close to and is above the tide level. See Image in which this cave entrance is prominent. Well Cove itself is a very fine cave with natural rock sculptures and lovely colouration. It is clear from the Namebook descriptions that "Cove" in this context means a cave or cavern, rather than a small bay.
