At the edge of Britain in western Cornwall

Some photographs taken on a visit to the western tip of Cornwall in November 2021. We took the train from London to Penzance - the end of the line - and stayed at the wonderful Chapel House for a week or so. From here we explored the surrounding coastline and towns.

This part of Britain has a certain allure. It’s on the edge of the country, it feels separate. Compared to some of Britain’s more genteel countryside, this part of Cornwall feels wild.

Almost all of these photos were taken on a Leica SL2-S using a Leica 24-70mm f.2.8 Vario Elmarit lens. The arial shots were taken on a DJI Mavic Pro 2. I hope you enjoy.
