St.Levan
Churchtown |
| This lovely secluded corner of West Cornwall is rapidly aquiring a reputation as a birding hot-spot , with such rarities as Yellow-billed Cuckoo , Veery and Radde`s Warbler having been found in recent years, along with more regular migrants. |
 |
 |
| The Church sits on the east side of a shallow valley which runs down to the sea at Porthchapel Beach. A field is employed as a car park (£1 honesty box) ; and the footpath to the beach and cliff-path is opposie the turn into the park. The area has superb bird habitat - the images above show the varied conditions around the Church and at the top of the footpath. |
 |
 |
| The footpath drops down into the valley and across a small stream before diverging -one way over the hill on the cliff path to Porthgwarra and the other way along the Western side of the valley and down to the beach. The area immediately upstream from the bridge forms the private gardens of Grey Gables Guest House. |
