...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.

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!

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!
