Hell's Mouth, Cornwall

Hell's Mouth (Cornish: Ganow Yfarn) 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 a jogger on the Cornish Coastal Path noticed cracks in the rock, which 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]
