Polly Joke, Cornwall - Postcard

Polly Joke is not signposted. You park in a field, follow a footpath down through the valley and in summer the dunes meet you covered in poppies, a few weeks of colour that people plan their whole year around. This postcard captures it in original watercolour and ink, a small piece of one of Cornwall's most quietly extraordinary beaches.

Each postcard is printed from an original illustration, ready to send to someone you love or to keep as a reminder of somewhere that felt like it belonged to you. Turn it over and there is room for a few words of your own, the way the best postcards have always worked: a picture on one side, a story on the other.

Part of the Postcards Home series: a growing collection of original illustrated postcards, each rooted in a real place, ready to write and send.
