The path to the beach at Porthcurno
There is much of relevance in this picture: The South West Coastal Path crosses this path, as evidenced on the granite signpost - Penberth to the left and Porthgwarra to the right; the diamond-shaped sign indicates the presence of underground cables, of which there are many buried under the beach, this place being the landfall of many cables under the Atlantic Ocean and the small building houses the terminals of these cables.
