Trevose Head
A lighthouse headland west of Padstow, with a clifftop loop path offering views over several beaches including Bude Bay and Constantine Bay.
Trevose Head is a granite headland jutting into the Atlantic between Newquay and Padstow. Its white lighthouse, built in 1847, is still operational. The clifftop has grassland and a circular trail managed by the National Trust, and on clear days you can see the coastline stretching southwest toward St Ives.
On the east side of the headland is the Padstow lifeboat station. On the southwest side are Bude Bay, Constantine Bay and Treyarnon Bay, all beautiful beaches that can be linked along the coast path. The lighthouse is not open to the public, and the headland car park charges a fee.
