...Hmmmm... now let me see ... Yes, I'm sure the path went straight across here the last time I passed this way! H. A. N. W. E. everyone!

Photo taken in August 2014. I previously walked this stretch of coast path in the summer of 2010 and the path did indeed go straight across from this point! A massive land slip had occurred in those few years. Porthtowan and St Agnes Beacon can be seen. First posted on ipernity in 2018. Better on large.

Many thanks, Roger.
I hope you don't mind, I've copied and pasted my reply to Larry!
That opposite section may well have gone too by now (6 years later); look at the cracks appearing at the top of the new cliffs. I keep meaning to check it out but with only a few days back each year, there is only so much I can see and do, sadly! The coast path now goes right round the far side of the green field, nor surprisingly!

What, in the jargon, is termed an "active slope..." ;)

Andy Rodker replied to slgwv:

It is indeed!
My mum recalls the path as being much further out to sea than I remember and it joined the current cliff at the point where the green field nearly meets the white cliff edge.
At this rate of erosion, I can easily see how legends of sunken lands such as Lyonesse, etc. arise; people would see a rapid erosion rate in their own lifetimes!
