Well my immediate thought driven by that curious rock formation at the top of the cliff was the Logan Rock at the village of Treen in Cornwall.

There is another Logan Rock on The Rhinns of Kells in Galloway looks more like this rock though.

wow, thanks for the suggestion - within 5 minutes of posting it !!

however, not convinced it's Treen as the google pix look fairly dissimilar. no cave either that I can see.

same minds think alike - I've been surfing trying to see if a Newlyn school (Cornwall) artist painted the original.  I also surfed looking for a similar style boat which doesn't look like anything I've seen on the Yorkshire coast.  Also surfed for the  fish wife attire - my Scottish ancestors had red dresses under their aprons.

A great cove for hiding smuggled booty eh?

My immediate thought was Cornwall too- then I wondered about somewhere in Ireland also.

I'm probably completely wrong here, but it reminds me of Mothecombe beach in south Devon.

Hi Tim,I just happened to be online and knew of the Logan Rock.This doesn't look like the one in Cornwall,but how good was the artist? One thing for sure is we are looking for a coastal village with an unusual outcrop on top of the cliffs.Of course there is the question,is the outcrop still there? the Logan Rock in Cornwall was tipped over the cliffs by some hooray Henry's and had to be hauled back up.

Of course, it could just be a place from the artist's imagination!

That rock on top of the cliff is quite specific though - it would be an odd thing to imagine
