<p>Commentary.<br />
<br />
<br />
Unlike Kynance Cove, Mullion Cove is protected by<br />
two harbour sea-walls.<br />
Sheltered by cliffs over 200 feet high, it is yet another<br />
renowned tourist node in South Cornwall.<br />
Mullion was well-known for its Seine-net fishing fleet since the 1600’s.<br />
A recurring problem, however was its exposure to ferocious south-westerly gales and storms.<br />
Between 1859 and 1874 there were 32 shipwrecks<br />
along this stretch of coastline!<br />
Various plans were drawn up over the centuries, but not until the late 19th. Century,  did the present granite piers get built. <br />
In the 16th. Century, being well placed for views across Mounts Bay, to see invading Spanish Fleets, a series of beacons, including one at Mullion, would be lit when unidentified galleons were spotted.<br />
For many centuries the Lizard Peninsula was renowned for smugglers.<br />
Hidden coves, tracks and tunnels were used to land contraband without being taxed.<br />
There are many stories of armed conflict between the smugglers and H.M Customs with death and injury on both sides.<br />
On a relatively calm, warm summer’s day, as in this shot, such dramatic history seems long distant. <br />
Everything about this spot, on this day, seemed paradoxically, idyllic.</p>
