Lamorna Cove
beachLamorna Cove is a memorable stretch of Cornwall coast near Lamorna, known for its sand, Atlantic light and easy access to the sea. Depending on the tide and weather, it can feel either wild and dramatic or calm enough for a slower beach day, with coastal paths and cliff views adding to the appeal.

St Buryan Church
historicThe massive granite tower of St Buryan's church has been a landmark for mariners rounding Land's End for centuries. The church contains one of the finest rood screens in Cornwall — a late fifteenth-century carved oak screen of exceptional quality — and the churchyard is the burial place of several local fishing families whose memorials tell the story of this remote parish's dependence on the sea.
2.2 km away
Boscawen-Un Stone Circle
historicA distinguished Bronze Age stone circle south-west of St Buryan, Boscawen-Un has nineteen outer stones and a leaning central pillar of white quartz that makes it instantly distinctive. It was here that the first recorded Gorsedh Kernow — the gathering of Cornish bards — was held in 1928, restoring a tradition that had lapsed for centuries.
2.7 km away
Merry Maidens Stone Circle
historicThe most complete and perfectly circular Bronze Age stone circle in Cornwall, the Merry Maidens stands in a field south of St Buryan with all nineteen stones upright. Local legend holds the stones are girls turned to granite for dancing on the Sabbath. The two outlying standing stones known as The Pipers — the musicians — stand in adjacent fields.

Mousehole
tourismSaid to be the most beautiful village in England by Dylan Thomas — who may have been biased by the local beer — Mousehole is a compact granite harbour village of extraordinary charm. Fishermen's cottages tumble down to a harbour sheltered by two great arms of stone, and the village lights every December for the Tom Bawcock's Eve festival.

Mousehole Harbour Lights
tourismMousehole Harbour Lights is one of those Cornish places that works both as a base and as an attraction in its own right, with enough character to justify a detour near Mousehole. Harbour life, local food, sea air and the surrounding walks usually matter as much as any single sight.
