About this business

Cape Cornwall is a wild and windswept headland on the Cornish coast, where the Atlantic meets the English Channel in a dramatic clash of waves and rock. Managed by the National Trust, this spot is a real treat for anyone who loves the great outdoors, with rugged cliffs, rolling waves, and a sense of untamed beauty that feels a world away from the bustle of everyday life. There’s a car park, a seasonal café, and even a little shop, so you can grab a cuppa before heading out to explore the coastal paths or simply soak up the salty sea air.

What really makes Cape Cornwall special is the sheer sense of history and atmosphere. You’ll spot the iconic chimney from the old mine, standing proud on the headland, and on a clear day, the views stretch for miles along the coastline. Seabirds wheel overhead, and if you’re lucky, you might even catch sight of seals bobbing in the surf below. Whether you’re after a bracing walk, a bit of local heritage, or just a peaceful spot to watch the waves roll in, Cape Cornwall offers a truly memorable slice of Cornish magic.
