Talk:Porthcurno

message: The most westerly point on mainland Britain is actually Corrachadh Mor, Highland -  6 Degrees 13 Minutes 36.9 Seconds W (see Extreme points of the United Kingdom).  Land's End is only the most westerly point in England - I don't think that there is a way of phrasing it without using the word English other than removing it :) - R 12-Apr-06
For a very small place Porthcurno is very rich in history but my additions are mainly engineering/scientific, I don't know much about wildlife, geology, nautical etc. and it would benefit such contributions.

thread_title: Most Westerly point in Britain

message: Not sure if the logan rock stuff shouldn't be moved to the Logan Rock main article.  Some of the information is repeated in both articles, except the other is more comprehensive.  It might be better served to remove the section here, and just refer to it briefly in another paragraph about local landmarks as a one line statement with a link.  Any comments?

thread_title: Logan Rock

message: Porthcurno (the cable versus wireless rivalry) was featured recently on the BBC 'Coast' program [BBC Coast] by Neil Oliver. I thought it was was well researched, well presented and much longer than that by Adam Hart Davisin 'What the Victorians did for Us'. It made me think again about how this article can be improved, for example
a map showing its location with an arrow or something
improved (specific) references rather than general ones (more books)
check the internet links and add a comment when each accessed
something about the area geologically (?evidence of a raised beach)
improved organisation of the images
a picture of the (now famous) cable hut at the top of the beach
something about the local farms (history of names etc)
how the main industry is now tourism (farm buildings converted to holiday cottages etc)
If nobody else does I hope to make a Start on these through the winter. Other suggestions welcome.ChrisAngove 16:07, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Suggested Improvements

message: More information added thanks to the Telegraph Museum and Google, many more in-line links and general references thanks to many tourist travel guides including this increasingly popular tourist attraction. Hopefully I will be able to tidy up the footnotes/references once I have practised them a bit more on sandbox, unless somebody else get there first.Expk1 (talk) 20:02, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Improvements

message: Quoted from the page: "Many tourists come from elsewhere in the United Kingdom and abroad and may have rented self-catering or bed and breakfast accommodation nearby."
They may have even taken a walk too - is this really relevant?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.153.214.146 (talk) 17:02, 17 September 2013 (UTC)
