Gunwalloe Church Cove
Gunwalloe Church Cove has a lovely 15th century church that stands at the edge of the beach and gives this picturesque cove its name and reputation. Strikingly the church’s bell tower, which dates back to the 13th century is a detached building nestled into the cliff. The beach is a sheltered spot with a small stream running through it, yet despite its popularity Church Cove remains an unspoilt location.
