Godrevy


Godrevy ((コーンウォール語:Godrevi), meaning ''small farms'') ( )〔''BBC Pronouncing Dictionary of British Names'' (Oxford University Press, 1971), p. 62.〕 is an area on the eastern side of St Ives Bay, west Cornwall, England, United Kingdom, which faces the Atlantic Ocean. It is popular with both the surfing community and walkers. It is part owned by the National Trust, and offshore on Godrevy Island is a lighthouse maintained by Trinity House which is said to be the inspiration for Virginia Woolf's novel ''To the Lighthouse''. Godrevy lies within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and the South West Coast Path runs around the whole promontory. There are several public car parks on the western side where the National Trust owns and operates a café.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/godrevy/ )
== Godrevy Head ==

The headland () is on the Atlantic coast in Cornwall on the eastern side of St Ives Bay and about three miles (5 km) northeast of the town of Hayle. The nearest village is Gwithian, half a mile west beyond Godrevy Bridge across the Red River. The promontory is roughly square in shape and faces north into the Atlantic occupying an area of approximately . In 1939, and of coastline was donated to the National Trust by D. W. Thomas of Gwithian, followed by a further of land adjoining Godrevy Farm in 1962 by Nicholas and Charles Thomas.〔 Godrevy Head has some of the best coastal heathland in Cornwall, with many species of plant, animal and insect life. Part of the headland, along with the coast to the east, was designated as part of the Godrevy Head to St Agnes SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest) in 1951.
The western side of Godrevy Head is bounded by rocks to the north and a wide sandy beach to the south which is popular for surfing. At the north-western corner of the headland is Godrevy Point; at the north-eastern corner is Navax Point ((コーンウォール語:Penn Kynyavos), meaning ''head of the autumn dwelling''). The cliffs between the two points are approximately above sea level.
On the northern side of the headland are two coves named Mutton Cove and Kynance Cove ((コーンウォール語:Porth Kynyavos), meaning ''cove of the autumn dwelling'') beyond which the Nathaga Rocks ((コーンウォール語:Lethegow), meaning ''milky ones'') lie off Navax Point. On the eastern side of the headland are Castle Giver Cove ((コーンウォール語:Porth Castel Gaver), meaning ''cove of the goat's castle'') and Fishing Cove.
South of Navax Point is an area of heath named The Knavocks ((コーンウォール語:Kynyavos), meaning ''autumn dwelling'') which is managed by The National Trust. The grassland and gorse scrub is criss-crossed with footpaths and is home to many species of butterflies and birds, notably nesting stonechats. The Knavocks, like other coastal heathlands in Cornwall, is managed by regularly cutting back the gorse and by grazing, the National Trust having introduced a herd of ponies for the purpose.
Beyond Fishing Cove, the coast swings to the east towards Hell's Mouth and North Cliffs. The land here rises to approximately , the highest point on this section of clifftop.
The cliffs, offshore rocks and coast around Godrevy Head form a renowned habitat for seabirds including cormorants, fulmars, guillemots, and razorbills and several species of gull. There is also a substantial population of grey seals throughout the year. Occasionally, bottlenose dolphins can be seen in the area.
