Lamorna Cove 11th November 2024
Lamorna is a village, valley and cove in west Cornwall, England, UK. It is on the Penwith peninsula approximately 4 miles (6 km) south of Penzance, and became popular with the artists of the Newlyn School.
Lamorna was first recorded as Nansmorno (in 1305), than Nansmurnou (1309), Nansmorne (1319), Nansmornou (1339), Nansmorna (1387) and Namorna (1388). In Cornish Nans means valley, and the 2nd element is possibly mor, which means sea.
The first record of tin streaming is in the 1380s when Alan Hoskyn was killed (murder was not proven) during a dispute with Trewoofe, after the stream was diverted. Mounds along the stream are evidence of past activity. Kemyel Mill was operated by the Hoskyn family from at least the 14th century until the 1920s, but is now a gift shop under different ownership. There were two mills: one milled corn for animal feed, and the other flour. Both mills are grade II listed buildings.
In the 17th century a privateer vessel owned by the Penrose family was regularly moored in the cove and was wrecked during a storm. At one time five cannon were on the sea floor in 15 m (49 ft) of water, and one is now at Stoney Cove, Leicestershire where it is used as an underwater archaeological training area. A number of silver coins found in 1984 and 1985 include one dated 1653. The wreck is a popular diving site.
The valley is now tree-covered, but until around the 1950s the stream- and hillside were grazed by cows, horses and pigs. On the slopes, daffodils and early potatoes were grown; the flowers were sent to markets at Covent Garden London, Birmingham and Wales.
Waste tips on the eastern side of the cove are a reminder of the granite quarries first opened in 1849, working until 1911. Famous buildings and constructions include Admiralty Pier at Dover, London County Council offices, the Thames Embankment and Portland Breakwater. Stone from the cove was also used locally to build the Bishop Rock Lighthouse, Mousehole north pier and the Wolf Rock Lighthouse. Granite was dragged by chains to an iron pier, where the stream enters the sea, and transported by ship. A plinth weighing 20 tons was sent to The Great Exhibition of 1851 by sea but eventually, due to the hazards of loading ships, granite was sent by road via Kemyal and Paul Hill through Newlyn, to the cutting yards in Wherrytown. The present quay was built in the late 19th century, possibly rebuilt on an older quay, and is a grade II listed building. A quarry on the west side of the cove failed due to the high quartz content of the granite. An area of 20 acres (8.1 ha) and known as the ″Lamorna Harbour Works″ was put up for auction at the Mart, Tokenhouse Yard, City of London on 16 June 1881. The property, on both sides of the valley, included ″the exceedingly valuable″ granite quarry with harbour, wharf and pier, a powder magazine, lime and mill house, carpenter's shops, 12 horse-power water-wheel, foreman's residence and a "substantial and superior" dwelling-house. Despite the 1881 sale claiming the granite quarry was ″exceedingly valuable″, Freeman and Sons only employed four men at the quarry two years later and the average-sized blocks were of inferior quality compared with other quarries.

At the suggestion of a good friend, I flew at this picturesque village & beach, close to Marazion, with stunning views towards St. Michael's Mount. I was very careful to avoid the No Fly Zone for Penzance Heliport. The first historical mention of Perranuthnoe can be found in the Domesday Book of 1086, as Odenol. By 1235 this had become Hutheno, and was recorded as Udno in 1308 and 1373. Finally...

Possibly the jewel in the Cornish crown, Kynance Cove is one of the(if not the) most beautiful coves in the UK, less than a mile from Lizard Point, the most southerly point of mainland England. The weather turned unexpectedly grey for this flight, & I mistimed the tide as it was only on it's way out, so this doesn't show the cove in it's full beauty or do it justice. But even in this light, you...

Gig Racing At Charlestown Harbour, Cornwall. 9th July 2022
My name is Laryn. It is pronounced the same way. I am so excited I am probably named after this beautiful village.
Love Lamorna...i filmed here too but hiked along the SWCP from Mousehole...great hike but a bit tricky in spots...!
I was going to do the same, but being too old (& too fat!! 🤣😂), the rocky climb up from the cove was too much for me. I wanted to walk along & film the lighthouse. Never mind
@@ViewsofCornwall Yeh that would have been a good shot...i did walk from Penberth towards the lighthouse but its a lot further than you think..but from Lamorna not too far...might give it a go in the near future...
very nice
Many thanks 😃
Jeremy - just outstanding...! ...good narrative in the boxes also (and not too intrusive ...A View Through the lens has captions that cover a quarter of the picture)...and the enormity of this Civil Engineering is just staggering. Assuming you do this periodically you will collect a unique record of this awesome Cornish work that only Cornwall can do. I will be watching this again! PS: I also noted the power lines!
Thank you for your suggestions & input
Very nice, havent been this way for a few years, thats a massive project. I too thought those power lines looked awfully close.
Many thanks for the kind words
Thanks for sharing. Those powerlines at 2.02 looked a bit close for comfort
Thanks for the kind words. They weren't as close as they looked - I used some zoom & crop in editing, and I was very close with VLOS specifically because of the number lines around! :)
The coasts of Cornwall and Pembrokeshire are good “drone food”.
Yes, but the problem now with Cornwall is so much of it is owned by the National Trust, or are SSSI's
I was there many years ago, and this modern bridge didn't exist then. To build such a modern-looking bridge in such an ancient place - who came up with that? 😖
Probably English Heritage, trying to maximise their profit
@@ViewsofCornwall The bridge blends seamlessly into the landscape. If you place a Greggs on one side and a Costa Coffee on the other, the immersion in antiquity is further enhanced.
@@nixblick1221 🤣🤣
I'm glad I stumbled upon your post on Mavic Pilots ....this is stunning! Beautiful flight, you've got a new subscriber from Ireland 👍
@@DroneViewsMedia thank you so much 😀
....don't be too hasty about civil engineering....'a view Through the Lens' has 2,000 subscribers and 2,300 people have watched the awesome video "October 2023 vs August 2024 - M25 Junction 10 Wisley Interchange comparison .." in 11 days......the St Austell International Space Lane build would surely be more spectacular than a few bridges over the M25..?
hmmmm
How lucky are we in this country, to have scenery and lovely towns like this, and a wonderful paddle steamer to view it by.🏴🏴🇬🇧
@@YARROWS9 very lucky xx
Stunning place, beautiful footage. I went on the Cawsand Princess ferry from the Barbican for the very first time just one day after this video was filmed on April 30th 2021. It was enough to make me move to Plymouth....where I've been for the last three years. I've travelled to over 30 countries and lived in Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, Israel, Spain and the UK.....but these charming little sister fishing villages of Cawsand and Kingsand and the whole Rame Peninsula are by far my favourite spots in the world. Lost count of how many times I've enjoyed popping over there from Plymouth. Thank you for sharing this footage.
@@josierose8 Thanks for the kind words. Interesting to hear your history too. It still amazes me how relatively few people know about the Rame Peninsula. If you haven’t seen them already, there are some other videos on this UA-cam site from Rame Headland and Picklecombe Fort 😀
@@ViewsofCornwall I watched those two videos last night too!! Very beautiful. And yes, thankfully Rame Peninsula is not so well known...and I hope it stays that way ;)
I live on the Clyde but have been catching her on webcams down South. Now at Swanage. Great video.
@@jimmcintosh9045 thanks very much 👍👍
Excellent video! 👍
@@ThamesShips thank you so much 😀
Well Jeremy, it's just fantastic that you've got the drone out! ...and it's a good video too. I can't think of a better present for my birthday. Thank you! Now, why don't you start filming some of the spectacular civil engineering going on around you? There's the intercontinental expressway that will connect Stenalees to the world barely 1800 metres from your home..or the simply awesome 10 miles of A30 that we went for a day trip on, and which means you can now travel supersonic all the way from Exeter to Cambourne. Go on - you know it makes sense!
@@paulsimpson7536 Thank you for your kind words, Mr Simpson. I’m glad you enjoyed your Birthday gift, and I thought it was very nice of Waverley Excursions to arrange the visit of the paddle steamer just so I could film it for your present. However, I’m not sure a 3 minute video of the A30 would attract that many views, and I’m not much more convinced either about the new St Austell link road. But I am keen to start filming again, so hopefully some more videos will follow soon
Great video! It really displays the speed of this ship. I was aboard with my family, what an experience : )
@@ShanePomeroy thanks for the kind words. I was surprised by how fast she sailed and it nearly caught me out!

We’re a jump jive band from Cornwall and we’re playing at St Day Old Church in 7th June. Would it be possible to use this amazing footage to help promote the concert? We would tag your UA-cam channel in it? Thanks
Thanks for the kind words and asking. Yes, you're welcome to using the footage, so long as my page is tagged and credited :)
Amazing drone footage! I was wandering if I could use your video as part of documentary I’m making for my university project. Would I be alright to use this or is there another option? Thanks.
Thanks for the kind words. Yes, I'm fine with you using the footage, as long as it's non-commercial, & you credit me for the footage
I saw them when I went to Cornwall
They're a lovely sight. I actually got a couple of negative comments for posting this clip, as the trees aren't actually in Cornwall!! :)
Stunning views, thanks for sharing. 👍

What is the music/song in this video? I absolutely love it! And it goes perfectly with the golden footage.
Hi Dirk. Thanks for the kind comments. The track is called Paintings, & it's by Ookean. I found it on Epidemic Sounds for license free download, & the same as you, thought it matched the visuals perfectly
Hey Jeremy… Haven’t seen you post for awhile now. How’s things?
Hi there, Squidnic. Not flown in months. A combination of busy, poor winter weather, and lost interest a bit due to all the regulations.😢😢
@@ViewsofCornwall Yeah fully understand. My MA2 batteries have all swollen just recently so too risky to fly. I intend on selling the bird and upgrading to the MA3.
The problem is commercially identical to that encountered with a lot of deeply historical edifices (particularly canals and churches). Lack of maintenance results in a deterioration which, for many decades, may not be superficially apparent. By the time people are asking serious questions regarding public safety the costs to restore to contemporary building standards have become astronomical but equally the cost to demolish the structure in a safe and appropriate way may be no less astronomical, so there is no viable way forward. The edifice is therefore abandoned and begins a generations-long process of returning to nature - a situation which carries its own hazards to those in close vicinity. The solution lies at the start, when the structure is first created. The same question must be considered as by a private individual deciding to purchase an expensive house, or even car, which, in terms of initial purchase / construction, they can well afford, and that is "I know I can afford to buy it / build it, but is the income stream available to maintain it?" And if the availability of adequate forward funding for maintenance is not secure, better not to create the structure in the first place.
So true
What a juxtaposition! The way nature can take the horrors of man and attempt to make them beautiful. Or maybe it’s even the horrors of man turn beautiful from time under nature’s hand.
Hadn’t thought of it that way 👍

Looking to fly at kynance as well. Did you email or did you call Culdrose? Thanks
Emailed a contact at ATC Culdrose so they could reply to me with authorisation which I could then send on to DJI for a custom unlock. They were really helpful and suggested flying on Saturday’s or Sunday’s as very few flights from Culdrose or Predannack happen then
Hi, You have a bit of visual disturbance before and after the 0:21 second mark, so you might want to take it out and post the video again. The audio is dreamy and soothing. This distracts from the otherwise flawless quality of your amazing compositions which are like paintings.
Hmmmm. Not sure what you mean, I don’t see much disturbance. But thanks for the amazing compliments 😊😊😊
Beautifully shot.😊
Many thanks
Brilliant footage, looking forward to seeing more, subbed 👍

You must have rang up Penzance airfield as the crowns at botallack is a flight control zone
Nope. If you look at the full Botallack clip, you’ll see it was filmed over 2 years ago, before it was in a full FRZ. If it had been, I would, of course have got permission as the drone wouldn’t have even taken off
