There are so many beautiful places in England, but few can compare to the amazing view you get from Fernpit Cafe in Newquay, Cornwall. Even on a dull day, the view is breathtaking. Crantock Bay is lined with beautiful clean sandy beaches, interspersed with the turquoise meandering River Gannel making its way to the Atlantic Ocean. All around there are beautiful trees and flowers sprouting from the cliff edge and banks, with seagulls searching for the crumbs from the tables of the café. On a sunny day it is quite heavenly. There are less tourists on this stretch of the beach - perhaps due to the unpredictable flow of the estuary.. and from the top of the cliff, I can see it all...
Seagulls are a very important part of Cornish life and although they can be quite cheeky around the ports and marinas, they show their grace and serenity as they swoop high above the estuary. How wonderful it must be to have your breakfast here each day. ❤️
'Crantock Bay by the River Gannel Estuary' is an oil painting on an A2 stretched canvas with painted wraparound. It is available as mixed-size limited edition print and greeting card. Merchandise for this painting will follow soon.
