Nanquidno Valley and the Brisons out at sea.

This is a truly beautiful spot and little frequented. I have here, on looking up, seen a chough flying overhead. Nanquidno probably is derived from the Cornish 'Nans' (Valley) and Gwynn (Fair) (compare with Port Quin which means 'fair/white harbour'). Unless there's an unknown plural 'gwennow' which means 'anuses', it could mean 'white arses' but I think that's rather unlikely! As for the Brisons, it is believed that this name may come from Norman French days 'brisants' meaning 'breakers'.
