mblance to Queen
Elizabeth, and is named after her. Another is known as the Good
Samaritan, as against these jagged points an East Indiaman of this name
once came to grief, when the local women folk are said to have
replenished their wardrobes with a quantity of fine silks and satins.
The coast beyond Bedruthan, by Trevose and Pentire Heads, Padstow,
Tintagel, Boscastle, Bude, and Morwenstowe, although abounding in wild
and rugged scenery, and full of romantic and literary associations, is
beyond our present limits. This being so we may conclude with the words
of J. D. Blight, one of the most learned of the older school of Cornish
antiquaries:
"Those who wish to behold nature in her grandest aspect, those who
love the sea breezes, and the flowers which grow by the cliffs, the
cairns and monumental rocks, all hoary and bearded with moss, those
who are fond of the legends and traditions of old, and desire to
tread on ground sacred to the peculiar rites and warlike deeds of
remote ages, should visit the land of Old Cornwall."
