Cape Cornwall

Surging seas

There is a good National Trust car park right at Cape Cornwall and then a very short walk out to the Cape. Walking up to the top of the Cape is a little challenging, especially on a very windy day, but the views are great from the bottom and partway up too. Indeed, even from the car park!
We saw choughs here, and a seal. A beautiful place.

Stunning!

We bought some fish and chips from St Just and ate them at The Cape. Bliss! A gorgeous place, away from the crowds. The climb is well worth it for the views but is quite scary if you suffer from vertigo!

Lovely walk

Great coastal walk. Good well signed paths. Not particularly challenging but can be extended for miles if you're feeling energetic. The ruins of the tin and copper mines in the vicinity are very atmospheric and photogenic.

Cape Cornwall

Lovely scenic walking. There is a sheltered cove (Priests Cove) for rock pooling and swimming.

If you want to have it quiter than Land's End ...

... go to Cape Cornwall, walk up the hill, sit down, look around, see the Scilly Islands and imagine that behind these islands there is only the ocean - until America. Go late and you can have the sunset too.

The walk from St Just to Cape Cornwall on a bright day is fantastic - the views out to sea are just breath-taking.

beautiful views

Played golf on this - at first sight, easy course, but the howling gale proved difficult. Try it on a calm day the views of the ocean from virtually all holes are fantastic.

Titanic - The Musical

First trip to the Minack and an excellent experience despite wind and drizzle, also very reasonably priced seating.

Stunning scenery

Great walks from Cape Cornwall to the Geever tin mine along the coastal path or alongside the easier track overlooking the sea and farmland - both stunning walks looking out to sea and also good birdwatching country. You can feel history as you walk!

fabulous walks

Walked from St Just out to Cape Cornwall - stunning views. Fabulous cream tea at the little kiosk on the car park and wonderful coves to escape to on the way back to St Just. We loved it and so did our doggie.

Fabulous alternative to Lands End

If you want to say you have seen Lands End, but don't want to pay to visit and run the gauntlet of the 'amusements', Cape Cornwall is your best bet. Park in the NT car park, get a nice cup of tea (in a proper mug for £1) from the van in the carpark, walk out to the monument and admire the view of Lands End in the distance. Lovely.

Breathtaking views and great walks. Make sure to call into the Coastguard station, friendly staff (all volunteers) with great stories and a wealth of local information.
