Cape Cornwall Chimney

This beautiful old chimney was part of the Cape Cornwall Tin Mine and dates back to 1864. The mine closed around 1883 but the chimney was left in place as an aid to navigation. The moderately strenuous climb to the seat at the base of the chimney is rewarded with stunning views out to sea and along the rugged cliffs. An ideal place to sit and watch the sun go down. Beware, you might need a torch to pick your way down.

Cape Cornwall, St Just

The view, standing on the cliffs of Cape Cornwall, looking North. Below us, the early evening sun shines on the rollers as they break on Porth Ledden beach. Across the bay, the cliffs rise to the Iron Age promontory fort of Kenidjack Castle. Cape Cornwall is a small headland near the town of St. Just in West Cornwall, four miles North of Lands End.
