It looks like a cross between an ATM and a log cabin.

We will hopefully, weather permitting, be trying to restore this access before Easter. Thanks for your comments.

The timbers surrounding the buildings will weather in time and won't look too dissimilar to what is currently existing in the car parks but will be much easier to maintain. As a nature conservation charity we have been working hard on this project to ensure we are continuing to provide public amenities that fit within the local landscape. <br />Lizard and Penrose NThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01468242536356279532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4594298962272870470.post-25162145009622096412014-01-21T22:46:42.017+00:002014-01-21T22:46:42.017+00:00This design looks like something that might be fou...This design looks like something that might be found in a Supermarket Car Park! Surely the National Trust can come up with something better than this?<br />As local residents, we know that Kynance is very popular all through the winter months, and rather than remove the toilets in winter, it would be better if they were left open all year - although if this tasteless design is implemented, it might be preferable if they were removed altogether! <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05241816444064803622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4594298962272870470.post-15242301940491162602014-01-20T18:43:07.039+00:002014-01-20T18:43:07.039+00:00They do look pretty awful.

On the matter of access to the beach, I was there earlier today and a lot of those nice flat rocks that made it easy to get from the steps down to the beach have been shifted by the recent heavy seas - I hope they get replaced or the less mobile may find it tricky.Dave Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04805227751097794817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4594298962272870470.post-77498197166267615562014-01-20T17:53:26.026+00:002014-01-20T17:53:26.026+00:00As an artist and local Mullion resident who freque...As an artist and local Mullion resident who frequently visits Kynance I must express my utter dismay at the ghastly external visual appearance of the proposed new toilet block and visitor facility. They may be recycled and portable but they could hardly be less fitting in this beautiful natural environment. They look exactly what they areā¦cheap and nasty metal containers wrapped in packing cases! <br /><br />Iconic and sensitive? No, a trendy and impoverished indulgence on the part of the designer/s...and an ugly blot on the Kynance landscape at any time of year!
