Some History:
The Minack Theatre is Cornwall's world famous open-air theatre.
Many visitors arrive at the Minack imagining it was built by invading Romans. If Caesar's legions had come this far they might have been beguiled by the beauty of the place, but the real truth is as remarkable as this enduring fiction.
"Minack" in Cornish means a rocky place and the black headed crag below the theatre has always drawn local fishermen. Until the 1930’s they had the gorse filled gully to themselves and the cliffs echoed to the cries of gulls not.
We had a lovely day wondering around the rocky cliffs of the Minack Theatre and stopped at a pub called Admirals Benbows which supposedly have a reference in the book Treasure Island. The food was good as was the pints.
