The Bishop and Gull Rocks Kynance Cove By Tracey Dyke Hart

Kynance Cove

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kynance_Cove

(Cornish: Porth Keynans, meaning ravine cove) is a cove on the eastern side of Mount’s Bay, Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is situated on the Lizard peninsula approximately two miles (3 km) north of Point. The cove became popular in the early Victorian era, with many distinguished visitors including Queen Victoria and Prince Albert and the poet Alfred Tennyson

There are a number of small tidal islands and stacks within Kynance Cove which were formed because the tremolite serpentine was broken into blocks and invaded by other types of rock, including granite and basalt.

The four largest stacks from left to right are The Bishop, Gull Rock, Asparagus Island and Steeple Rock.^[6][9] It was thought that Asparagus Island, which is cut off on almost every high tide, was connected to the mainland by a sand tombolo.^[10] The winter storms washed the sand away to reveal a rocky ridge, probably formed more than 100,000 years ago when sea levels were higher.^[11] At about half-tide a snorting can be heard – the sound of the Devil’s bellows a blowhole on Asparagus Island which was caused by the sea tunnelling along a fault.^[6] A second blowhole, the Post Office is so named because there is enough suction to post a letter in it!^[12]
