This is Pig's Nose Valley, between Prawle Point and Salcombe in south Devon, one of my favourite birding spots for migrants.
Below the cliffs at the bottom of the valley is Moor Sands. In the sixteenth century the bodies of drowned sailors were washed ashore here. They turned out to be Moorish pirates, now commemorated in the name of this cove. In recent years the wreck has been located and many rich treasures have been salvaged including Dutch artefacts that suggest the pirate captain was a Dutchman.
