St Necterns Kieve

St Necterns Kieve, is situated behind Tintagel. It is not well posted and is a bit of a trek though some stunning woodland. Once you arrive there is a little tea house at the top, which is built on the site of a monastic retreat. There is still a shrine there. From the teas house you make your way down some rough steps to the waterfall. It's fairly small but very impressive. The whole falls area has been turned into mini shrines to loved ones etc. and the falls are breathtaking.

Nice shot of the falls and helpful comments - I wish I had known about this when I went to Tintagel...

Thanks Matthew. The photos don't do it justice, it really feels like a magical place where anything is possible. The air is both still and moving at the same time.

Thanks Pete,

I think this was a handheld shot, and I waded in barefoot (water was cold)

This is an amazingly magical place, i came here with my family a some years back (1 or 2 before the big boscastle flood) and i fell in love with it, I can't wait to come back to cornwall to visit it again.

It is magical indeed. I have been a few times both before and after the flood. Glad to say Boscastle is on the way to full recovery.
