  • Bossiney Haven (Cornish: Porth Boskyny, meaning cove at Bossiney) is a small cove in the civil parish of Tintagel. It is on the north coast of Cornwall, United Kingdom and a mile east of Tintagel and three miles west of Boscastle. The South West Coast Path closely follows the coast above the cove. Bossiney Haven is part of the Tintagel Cliffs Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) designated for its geological and wildlife interests. The cove is at the northern point of the Tintagel Geological Conservation Review site, chosen because it is a good example of a longitudinal coast, and for its hard rock coastal landforms. The cove is open to northerly winds off the Atlantic and is flanked by the Iron Age cliff castle of Willapark to the north. At low tide it is linked to Benoath Cove. An unusual part of the cliff is known as the Elephant Rock, where a high vertical arch has formed almost separating a ″narrow trunk of rock from the mainland″. This feature shows the relationship of vertical jointing to cliff features. The cove has a sandy beach which is completely covered by the tide at high water At the right hand side of the cove there is a cave that is about 60 feet in height at the entrance but only 15–20 wide. It opens up into a large cavern with two more caverns which become very dark. The cave continues after this point but the floor becomes rock and very uneven. It has been said there is a waterfall in the cave. Access to the beach is by steep steps, a route which is not suitable for wheelchairs or push chairs. There is no lifeguard coverage. (en)
  • Bossiney Haven (en córnico, Porth Boskyny (caleta en Bossiney) es una pequeña caleta en la parroquia civil de Tintagel. Está en la costa norte de Cornwall, Reino Unido, a una milla al este de Tintagel y tres millas al oeste de Boscastle. El Camino de la Costa Sudoeste sigue estrechamente la costa por encima de esta caleta.​ Por su interés geológico, su fauna y su flora, Bossiney Haven es un Sitio de Especial Interés Científico.​ La caleta está abierta a los vientos del norte del Atlántico y flanqueada por los acantilados de la Edad de Hierro Británica de Willapark por el norte. En bajamar se une con Benoath Cove. Existe una parte inusual del acantilado es conocida como la Roca del Elefante, donde un alto arco vertical se ha formado casi separando una estrecha "trompa de roca" de la tierra firme. La caleta tiene una playa arenosa que la marea alta cubre completamente. En su lado derecho hay una cueva de aproximadamente 60 pies en altura en la entrada pero de sólo 15–20 pies de ancho. Su interior es ancho y consta de dos cavernas más. La cueva continúa después de este punto pero el suelo se vuelve rocoso y muy desigual. Se dice que hay una cascada en la cueva. El acceso a la playa se realiza a través de escalones muy empinados, una ruta no adecuada para sillas de ruedas o cochecitos. No hay ningún cobertura salvavidas. (es)
