| The cove is said to be haunted by a figure in dark clothing. It is difficult to ascertain whether this is connected in any way to the name of the place, but there was a sighting of the figure in the 1970's. |

for sea monster and has been seen several times this century. There have been many sightings since 1926 and some
photographs have been taken showing a dark mass with several humps. As with many monster photographs none of the pictures are clear enough to make any snap judgements. |

| Lands End |
Beyond Land end
stretching to the isles of Scilly, the lost land of
Lyonnesse is reputed to lie. The land is said to have been engulfed by
the sea over 900 years ago.
According to tradition the only survivor of the
sinking was a man called Trevilian, who rode a white horse before the waves. The family crest shows the image of this white horse.
The story may be related to folk memory of dry land between Lands End and the Isles of Scilly. There is evidence to suggest that the sea levels were different within written records, Scilly was referred to as one island during the reign of Maximus in the Fourth Century AD. The land of Lyonnesse has also been linked into the legend of King Arthur. |
