Cape Cornwall

natural

The only cape in England and Wales, Cape Cornwall juts defiantly into the Atlantic just north of St Just. Unlike Land's End, it remains beautifully uncommercialised — owned by the National Trust — and the chimney stack of a former mine on its summit gives it an unmistakably Cornish silhouette. The offshore Brisons rocks are a dramatic foreground for Atlantic sunsets.

1.3 km away

Botallack Mine

historic

The cliff-edge engine houses of Botallack are among the most evocative industrial monuments in Britain — stone towers clinging to near-vertical cliffs above the sea, from which miners once descended into shafts running a third of a mile beneath the Atlantic. Part of the Cornish Mining World Heritage Site, the site is managed by the National Trust and the views alone are worth the walk.

Botallack Count House

historic

The restored count house — the mine manager's office — at Botallack stands among the dramatic clifftop engine houses that have made this stretch of the Penwith coast iconic. A short walk from the National Trust car park at Botallack village, it offers sweeping views north to Cape Cornwall and south to the Brisons rocks.

Porth Nanven

beach
