Unfortunately it's 15mins in, just after the break, which means rather a lot of ads.

Now, I realise it's wet there, but <i>SURELY</i> it's not been so wet the area can't be done some time? Some places have been shot five or six times, perhaps it's time to give a decent first cover on the terra incognita? Here there be dragons

I lived in Newquay for two years and was kicking myself writing this post that I had never taken any snapshots myself. Filipe, thanks for the link to some great ground level photos.

One thing I did not include was that Lord and Lady Long have had many issues with all-night ravers that party on the beach below. They've asked for help from the local council, but didn't receive anything satisfactorily. Last thing I could find out was that the house was up for sale for around £750,000 or $1.25 million USD.
