Hell's Mouth, Cornwall
Hell's Mouth is situated northeast of Gwithian on the South West Coast Path in the county of Cornwall, England, UK.[1] The land is owned by the National Trust.[2] It is part of a group of cliff faces in the area with a café not far from the edge.
In 2011 cracks were noticed in the rock with is made up of mudstones and sandstones of the Porthtowan Formation and slates/siltstones of the Mylor Slate Formation from the Devonian. The route of the path was diverted as the cracks enlarged.[2] On 23 September approximately 100,000 tonnes (110,000 tons) of rock fell into the sea. Unusually the rockfall was captured on video.[3]
