Identification
Item: Porth Ledden Cove and Nancherrow Valley from Cape Cornwall.
Description: A view of Porthledden beach, Kenidjack Castle and the end of the Kenidjack Valley taken from Cape Cornwall, with the Castle to the far left, and Wheel Call (or Great Wheel) to the right. Wheel Call was located at the bottom of the Kenidjack Valley and was part of the Boswedden Mine. The water wheel located there was the largest in Cornwall, measuring 65 ft in diameter. Kenidjack Castle has two sets of triple ramparts, with outer ditches which were built on the N.E. and S.W. sides. The beach is now devoid of sand, which might be the result of dredging to recover tin content, distorting the sand, which was washed away. Sources: Wikipedia; Mindat.org.
