Cape Cornwall
One of only two 'capes' in England. A 19th-century mine chimney on its summit serves as a landmark, and it is quieter than Land's End. From here you can see the Brisons rock pair offshore.
Cape Cornwall was once thought to be the westernmost point of England. A 19th-century mine chimney still stands on its summit. A walk of about 10 minutes to the top offers views toward Land's End and the twin Brisons rocks offshore. Priest's Cove on the south side is where fishermen landed their catches. The National Trust car park charges a fee. It is about 2 km on foot from the village of St Just.
