The harbour view from an old military lookout, with room to linger and look.
Understand the viewpoint
The former military lookout helps explain the strategic importance of the harbours below. The photograph shows the view over English and Falmouth Harbours.
Plan the return as well as the arrival
Check access and any current event arrangements. If you choose an evening visit, arrange your return transport before settling in. A sunset is a possibility, rather than a scheduled performance.
Give the day room to unfold
Check current access and weather, and allow time for the setting as well as a photograph.
