What reading level is The Cornwall Coast book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Probably not. South of Cadgwith are some ofthe grand caves and rock-freaks that have a more immediate appeal, andnorth of the hamlet some of the best serpentine is obtained. Serpentine is a blend of silica and manganese, so named from itsimagined resemblance to a snake's skin; its colour varies from greento red and brownish yellow, and is often remarkably beautiful. It hasbeen used with striking effect, architecturally, in Truro Cathedral;while with regard to its use for ornaments and decoratio...n, the visitorhas many opportunities of judging for himself.
When we remember the seas to which these shores are exposed, it iseasy to understand how the coast has been eroded into its presentcontorted and cavernous condition. Massive rocky frameworks haveresisted the action of the waves, but softer measures have yielded;the shore has been licked into hollows, basins, caves, by continuouswater-action, and the process continues unendingly. One remarkableexcavation of this kind is the Devil's Frying-pan, covering about twoacres, which the sea enters through an archway of rock at high tides;the pit is nearly 200 feet deep.
