West Penwith Cornwall, from Moor to Coast

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE : Top AirVuz contributor ChrisBaish brings us this excellent drone video from County Cornwall in South West England. The video was filmed over the Penwith Peninsula, which lies in the southwestern part of Cornwall and which marks the westernmost point on the island of Great Britain. Filmed with a DJI Mini 3 Pro drone, the video will take you over the stunning Cornish coastline. You'll also see some vestiges of Cornwall's rich mining history, when the region served as one of the world's most important sources of copper and tin.
