Mullion Cove or Porthmellin, a very fine serpentine cavern, occurs there; and is accessible from the land, at low water, through a chink in the cliff. “It is,” says Mr. Johns, ” a striking object, when seen externally; yet the view from within it is yet more so; impenetrable gloom above; brilliant light streaming in through the fissures, but revealing nothing behind; the smoothest of all possible sands; little pools of crystal water, so still that not even a sunbeam is seen to dance on them; richly dark rocks, so polished as to reflect the light with a splendour scarcely to be endured; the blue sea with its curled edging of snow-white lace; and, in the distance, St. Michael’s Mount, the fabled tower in the bay.” ]]>Mulfra Cornwall Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales Circa 1870http://www.parishmouse.com/cornwall/2009/3/28/mulfra-cornwall-imperial-gazetteer-of-england-and-wales-circ.htmlSally2009-03-28T17:52:50ZImperial Gazetteer of England and Wales Circa 1870 MulfraMULFRA, a hamlet and a hill in the SW of Cornwall; 3 ¾ miles NNW of Penzance.
