Bossiney Haven is one of the less famous, but nevertheless beautiful beaches of North Cornwall. The sand is only exposed at low tide, and the steep, narrow path down the cliffs means that is usually quiet and secluded. This shawl was inspired by the deep, rich colors of the sea, and the combination of cables and lace are reminiscent of that twisty path.
