Peninnis Head and Morning Point Battery
Peninnis Head and Morning Point Battery
The cannons on the battery date from the 1740s. The battery wall, like much of the garrison walls are covered in a short turf. Here the turf is rich in low-growing herbs, notably English Stonecrop (giving it the red tinge)
