About Sennen Cove

Sennen Cove is a small coastal village in the parish of Sennen, tucked into Cornwall in England’s South West. Identified by postcode TR19 and part of the county of Cornwall, this diminutive settlement was estimated by Penwith District Council to have a population of around 180 people in 2000. Its coastal setting and compact scale give the village an intimate, quietly maritime character. The South West Coast Path passes through Sennen Cove, threading the village into one of the region’s most famous coastal routes. Whether arriving as a brief stop or a place to linger, Sennen Cove reads as a modest, well‑rooted corner of Cornwall where parish identity and shoreline meet.
