Holywell Bay Dunes

On Friday I went over to Holywell Bay near Newquay, the end of the largest dune system in Cornwall, Penhale dunes. It's a beautiful location and one of my favourites so far as it's got a car park and easy access and it's a lovely area. I spent most of this shoot getting to grips with filming on the D7000 because I want to create a short video trailer for my project/the book but I did get a few shots while I was there before the rain really kicked in!

Image for the 'strandline' page of the book. The strandline is very important as it causes the initial build up of sand leading to the formation of dunes.

These boulders on the beach show a great example of how sand builds up around an object that slows the wind down.
