Carnewas beach, Bedruthan Steps, Cornwall
The 139 steps down the cliff face belies the additional terraced and stepped path down the cliffs required to reach them, however the approach to this part of the North Cornish coast provides wonderful views from the top of the 300ft / 90+m cliffs
The stacks are reputed to have been the stepping stones for the legendary giant Bedruthan, but Victorian tourists gave names to them such as Queen Bess rock, Samaritan Island etc. that are reflected on the O S maps today
Before loosing the head-like top to erosion Queen Bess rock allegedly resembled Queen Elizabeth I
