I visited perranporth last week and found, after a bit of difficulty, the memorial seat. Its on the coastal path heading towards Newquay from Perranporth. It has a glorious view but could be easily missed as its a marble bench and amongst the grass and flowers. I have attached some photographs.

I have just listened to the Desert Island Discs archive of Winston Graham. Not a programme where anything new is revealed, but interesting to hear his voice.
