Hawkers Hut

On my second trip up to North Cornwall this year, today I walked along the stunning, but very steep, cliffs between Morwenstow and Duckpool. This is Hawkers Hut, which must qualify as a contender for the ultimate man cave. Robert Stephen Hawker was vicar of Morwenstow from 1834 to 1875. He is remembered for his good works, as well as being a writer, poet and eccentric who wrote Cornwall’s unofficial anthem “The Song of the Western Men”) 
The hut was originally built around 1844 from driftwood and shipwreck timbers.
He used his hut for thinking, writing, watching for ships in distress, and smoking opium!
Apparently, both Alfred Tennyson and Charles Kingsley are known to have visited Hawker in his tiny self-built hut. I have also added an extra that shows one of the landscape/seascapes nearby. This time with a bit of blue sky!
