The short version, from the cited sources

Kynance Cove is a cove on the eastern side of Mount's Bay on the Lizard peninsula of Cornwall, about two miles north of Lizard Point. Popular since the early Victorian era, when Queen Victoria and Prince Albert and the poets Tennyson and Swinburne visited, it has been described by the BBC as one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline in the South West.
