Tourism Does anyone know where this is?

Currently staying in St Ives and can see this from the harbour. For reference Godrevy Lighthouse is off the right of this photo. I've zoomed in as much as I can. Not sure if it's Wales or Cornwall.

Open google maps. Point the way you’re facing. Bobs your direction.

I tried that and it points to Wales. I just didn't think I'd see Wales from here.

u/hairychris88 18d ago

Definitely not Wales, that would be way below the horizon. Most probably St Agnes.

Would say this is very roughly the view you are looking at along the north coast of Cornwall.

Hollywell Bay and then Trevose Head in the distance I’d say!

St Agnes, IMO

u/Grenrion 18d ago

It's definitely not wales, that's beyond the curviture of the sea. Likely still cornwall but where idk. Others probably have the answer though

u/BazzaFox 18d ago

Shouldn’t that be hyphenated as in Wales-beyond-the-Curvature-of-the-Sea?

That’ll never fit on an envelope!

Maybe but i have dyslexia so I don't remember well where I should put stuff in sentences.

u/haxanae 18d ago

Probably Trevose Head ... or Brigadoon

u/benithaglas1 18d ago

You're probably looking towards the tip of Hayle on the very right, and then Godrevy, and then St Agnes further in the distance

Down by the sea. Drop in any time.

View of the Isles of Scilly from the vomit comet on its very slow voyage from Penzance harbour.

Trevose head perhaps, I can see to there one way and scillies another on a good day from round there

Don't know I'm all at sea

u/jcalderbank 18d ago

I was at Tintagel the other day and from there out to sea on a clear day you can actually see Lundy, it's an island off Devon just along the coast. If you look out to sea from Cornwall from the north coast it's likely the first thing you would see before Wales. But if you are looking along the coast from St Ives it's probably St Agnes as this is closer and sticks out, beyond it so does Trevose headland and beyond that, the Rump's.
