Rumps Point, or The Rumps as it is sometimes known, is a small promontory on the North Cornwall coast just a little North East of Padstow and the River Camel estuary. Once the site of an Iron Age fort, Rumps Point is now managed by the National Trust.
During the two afternoons I spent here I saw very few people, even in August. I suspect this has something to do with the fact the nearest car park is around a mile away. The two small hills, as well as the tiny island of The Mouls just beyond, now seem a favourite place for seagulls to gather in the evening and compete with the sea to see who can make the most noise!

I was a little disappointed in the weather when I first visited this location in June. The cloud was looking promising as I approached, but while I waited for the sun to move into position, the clouds blew inland leaving a perfectly clear blue sky. However the warm evening sunlight made for some wonderful light and while the sky is no match for the later photographs I took in August (my last Image of the Week), I was still satisfied with my work that day.
Talking of Image of the Week, I have not posted one for a little while due to other priorities, but I will resume shortly.
