The harbour at Cove occupies a tidal inlet enclosed on three sides by high cliffs. It has a long history as a landing place and port. The present harbour works date to the early-mid 19th C and comprise of one straight and one angled pier, enclosing the bay. Land access to the bay is gained via a tunnel cut through the headland. The harbour remains in use. Two single storied cottages stand on the angled pier. Of late 18th- early 19th C date, the cottages are now ruinous and unoccupied: both are listed. Two seasonally occupied house stand at the east end of the bay (See SB39 & 40). See also SB37 & 38.

There is a modest rock armour coastal defence defending the coast edge on the seaward end of the tunnel. The harbour walls are generally sound, although there is some evidence of erosion of the mortar and sandstone. Part of the harbour wall is carved from sandstone bedrock. The harbour is in use. The pair of cottages on the harbour wall are in better condition than described. They have new chimneys, sound roofs and are weather tight. Both are used for storage. |
