People fishing from the Rock of Providence near Burrow Head People fishing from the Rock of Providence near Burrow Head People fishing from the Rock of Providence near Burrow Head
10 As we approached Burrow Head we came across this finger of rock jutting out into the sea and took it to be the "Rock of Providence" as shown on the map. There was an adult with 2 teenage boys out fishing from the rocks. I said to Sandy that if they were my boys I would have life jackets on them. Just a couple of days later 2 men were drowned fishing near here! One fell in and the other tried to rescue him.
Below is another view of the same finger of rock and you can see how treacherous the sea would be here if you were to fall in.
