In the land of mists and megaliths, traditions and superstitions; Bedruthan Steps sits high on the list of Cornish drama, beauty and myth. When Newquay became a popular tourist resort in Victorian times people were able to more easily visit this part of the coastline. The legend has it (probably also made up by the Victorians) that a giant built and used the stacks as stepping stones. In his painting we’re looking over the sea thrift across the coastline, as the waves roll to the shore and the moon rises in the sky, flooding the cliffs with a beautiful ethereal quality of light.
