Springtime in the woodlands. This is one of many nature reserves in the heart of Plymouth City #Spring #Bluebells #Woodland #Plymouth #Devon

A footprint in the golden sand, but whose is it? #Bovisand #Devon #Coast #CoastalVibes #SeaBreeze #SaltAir

It's not often you see a beautiful spring bluebell scene like this in the middle of the city. This was a walk from Plymouth sea front to the hospital - the long way through a few nature reserves 😊 #plymouth #spring #bluebells

Beautiful sunsets over golden sands on the southeast Cornish coast. This is Sharrow beach, one of the many superb beaches and coves along Whitsand Bay. #Sharrow #WhitsandBay #Cornwall #Coast #CoastalVibes #SeaBreeze #SaltAir

Godrevy lighthouse off the north Cornish coast was built in 1859. The SS Nile was wrecked on the rocks in 1884, and all 40 passengers and crew were lost. This disaster, after many before it, prompted the building of the lighthouse. #Godrevy #Cornwall #Coast #CoastalVibes #SeaBreeze #SaltAir

The remains of historic mine workings on the Botallick coast in west Cornwall. Remains - engine houses and chimneys - are all over the Cornish landscape, but I think the coastal sites add a bit more drama. #EngineHouses #TinMines #CopperMines #Cornwall #Coast #CoastalVibes #SeaBreeze #SaltAir

When it's spring again I'll bring again Tulips from, well, Strawberry Fields at Lifton in Devon :) An explosion of colour on a dull day at the annual Tulip Festival #Tulips #SpringFlowers #Devon

A nice walk in the sunshine yesterday. Starting at Hannifore in Looe, onto the Kilminorth Woods to Watergate. Then to Perranporth by road via Talland, and finally back to Hannafore, again via Talland, on the coast path #Looe #Talland #Perranporth #Cornwall #Coast #CoastalVibes #SeaBreeze #SaltAir

A walk around Shipton Abbott today. Strange, the locals call this town, Looe. #shiptonabbott #looe

The Knife Angel in Plymouth, made from thousands of knives that have been surrendered #knifeangel #plymouth

This old maid will be starting up soon for the summer season. The ferry to Cawsand from Plymouth is a great way to see and explore Cawsand, Kingsand and the Rame Peninsula in SE Cornwall. #Cawsand #Kingsand #Rame #Cornwall #Coast #CoastalVibes #SeaBreeze #SaltAir

A refreshing moment on the beach overlooking Godrevy Lighthouse on the north Cornish coast. This was from a February walk from Hayle to Portreath. #Godrevy #Cornwall #Coast #CoastalVibes #SeaBreeze #SaltAir

It would be lovely to see the sun setting from a Cornish beach once more. This was the view from Freathy Beach on Whitsand Bay in SE Cornwall from a couple of years ago. #WhitsandBay #Freathy #Cornwall #Coast #CoastalVibes #SeaBreeze #SaltAir #Sunsets #SandAndSea

Looking down at Goran Haven Harbour from the SW Coast Path. This was part of a walk from Goran Haven to Portholland. #GoranHaven #Portholland #Cornwall #Coast #CoastalVibes #SeaBreeze #SaltAir

Looking back to Charlestown Harbour on the south Cornish coast. This was part of a walk from Fowey to St Austell along the SW Coast Path. #CharlestownHarbour #Cornwall #Coast #CoastalVibes #SeaBreeze #SaltAir

The beauty of mosaics after all of the painstaking time and effort to produce it #mosaic #malta

A mid-winter scene on Dartmoor from a circular walk around Norsworthy and Ditsworthy Warren. Details of the location and this lovely walk: paulmichaelphotos.uk... #Dartmoor #Devon #DitsworthyWarren #Norsworthy #MoorlandHikes

Mdina, Malta, the silent walled city. #mdina #malta #ancientcities

On the wild and windy north Cornish coast is Crackington Haven. It's a dramatic beach flanked by rocks and a high cliff to one side. It has a shingle / sandy beach (more sandy as the tide goes out) #CrackingtonHaven #Cornwall #Coast #CoastalVibes #SeaBreeze #SaltAir

Not a bad place for a coffee. Crantock Beach on the north Cornish coast is a spectacular golden-sandy stretch with high dunes up to the land and often fantastic waves for surfers off the shore. #Crantock #Cornwall #Coast #CoastalVibes #SeaBreeze #SaltAir

Beautiful Clovelly on the north Devon coast. It's a privately owned village that charges visitors for entry, but it's well worth the visit. #Clovelly #Devon #Coast #CoastalVillages #CoastalVibes #SeaBreeze #SaltAir

This is another of my guided walks. It's a circular hike around St Agnes Head on the north Cornish coast. Aside from the magnificent Wheal Coates engine house remains shown in the picture, the scenery along this coastline and inland is stunning. paulmichaelphotos.uk/walks/coasta...

Take a circular walk on Cornwall's rugged north coast around Trebarwith Strand and Tintagel. The breathtaking scenes include coastal and inland walkways coupled with ancient myth and legend. paulmichaelphotos.uk... #Tintagel #TrebarwithStrand #Cornwall #Coast #CoastalVibes #SeaBreeze #SaltAir

Out and about at Plymouth's seafront this afternoon. We had SUNSHINE! This rocky shore is Firestone Bay. There is a tunnel along the wall on the left that leads to Royal William Yard, and further, a small tidal paddling pool. #FirestoneBay #Plymouth #Devon #Coast #CoastalVibes #SeaBreeze #SaltAir

Coverack - waiting for the tide to go fishing #Cornwall #Coast #CoastalVibes #SeaBreeze #SaltAir #Coverack

Some coastal scenes around Port Isaac on the north Cornish coast. From a circular walk from Polzeath to Port Isaac. Read my article for the details: paulmichaelphotos.uk... #Cornwall #Coast #CoastalVibes #SeaBreeze #SaltAir #PortIsaac #Polzeath

Out and about around Saltash on a rather drenched day in Cornwall. We have had so much rain, and I wonder if Cornwall is about to float off to somewhere sunnier :) #RiverWalks #Saltash #Cornwall #BrunelBridges

Down at the harbour in Polperro, Cornwall #polperro #Cornwall #harbourvillage #bythesea

A walk around Trelissick Gardens after Storm Goretti. The clear-up operations had done the gardens proud. But there has been a huge loss of trees here, and all over West Cornwall. Things could get bad again today with yet another storm giving us some aggro. #Trelissick #Cornwall #Storms

Well, look who flew in! I was actually looking at a grey squirrel that was rummaging around the wooded area. Then this little fella landed right beside me. #Robin #GreySquirrel #WoodlandWildlife

Beautiful Mousehole in West Cornwall. I've spent quite a bit of time in this lovely, unspoilt but much-adored village. It is the place to visit for that slice of traditional Cornwall. #Mousehole #Cornwall #Coast #CoastalVibes #SeaBreeze #SaltAir

Some of the best coastal scenes on my walk from Goran Haven to Portholland on the south Cornish coast. Of course, it's better when the sun shines. . . . . #GoranHaven #Portholland #Cornwall #Coast #CoastalVibes #SeaBreeze #SaltAir

Days like these... #WhitsandBay #Cornwall #OceanVibes #SWCoastPath #RameHead

Charlestown is one of my favourite Cornish harbour villages. There's construction work going on there currently. Hopefully, it won't be long until it gets back into its former shape for us all to enjoy. . . . . #Charlestown #CornishHarbours #Cornwall #Coast #CoastalVibes #SeaBreeze #SaltAir

Walking the Bude canal out to the most amazing coastline on the north Cornish coast. The canal is peaceful and tranquil, while the coast is rugged with wonderful rock formations . . . . #Cornwall #Coast #CoastalVibes #SeaBreeze #SaltAir #Bude #PaulMichaelPhotos

Hi all. This is my first post on BS and a taste of West Cornwall's Botallack Coast with its mining heritage.
