The house is close to the coastal path and a number of sandy beaches with spectacular cliffs where you can swim or surf. The situation is secluded within a group of properties including a working farm but is quiet. The weather is Atlantic and coastal and can range from scorching hot [by British standards] to wild with violent breaking waves and stormy seas. Nearby there is the Minack Theatre which is in a spectacular location on the cliff and is well worth a visit http://www.minack.com.The local web site http://www.landsendweather. shows passing ships ,lifeboat "shouts ",webcams and some more professional photos of the surrounding beaches .

The house has been in our family for 40 years and has been carefully restored by us retaining the traditional feel but fully refurbished so that it is comfortable and warm as well as being cool in the summer months. Colin is a builder and musician and I am a doctor . We are interested in art and music and history.Our children have left school and are at university allowing us more freedom to travel either with or without the children.We like walking in the countryside but also wish to visit cities for museums ,galleries and to look at buildings .
We are enthusiastic exchangers and have had great experiences to date in Paris,Berlin,New York ,Boston and Cape Cod .
We have installed a satellite dish which picks up free spanish, french ,russian and german TV channels.
