World: Europe: Britain: England: Poldhu Bay
Properly Poldhu Cove, aka Mullion Cove. An inlet on the eastern side of Mounts Bay. [JT]DEVI: Holmes and Watson take a cottage near Poldhu Bay, at the further extremity of the Cornish peninsula.
Watson:"It was a singular spot, and one peculiarly well suited to the grim humour of my patient. From the windows of our little whitewashed house, which stood high upon a grassy headland, we looked down upon the whole sinister semicircle of Mounts Bay, that old death trap of sailing vessels, with its fringe of black cliffs and surge-swept reefs on which innumerable seamen have met their end."
