Rospletha, Cornwall Weather
About Rospletha, Cornwall
Rospletha remains a quiet cluster of granite structures where the salt-heavy air of the Atlantic dictates the pace of the day. It lies 5.6 miles south of St Just (from St Just: bearing 169°T, OS grid SW 383 224), and is situated north-east of St Levan village. The light here possesses a singular, thin clarity, often catching the grey stone of the nearby Cross 150M South West Of Rospletha with a stark, uncompromising brilliance. Between the low-slung fields, the land drops away toward the coast, where the dramatic granite cliffs have long served as a natural pedestal for the nearby Minack Theatre. Residents of Rospletha walk paths worn smooth by centuries of footfall, moving between the rugged pastures and the hidden, sheltered coves of the peninsula. Throughout the seasons, the wind scours the gorse and lichen, leaving the landscape looking as though it were carved from the very bedrock of the earth. One finds that the silence of the surrounding moorland is frequently punctuated by the distant, rhythmic pulse of the sea against the Porthcurno cliffs. Time in Rospletha seems to move not by the clock, but by the slow, steady turning of the tide and the shifting shadows upon the lichen-spotted walls.
