About Gwennap Head

Gwennap Head provides an exceptional vantage point for observing marine wildlife, including grey seals, dolphins, and rare seabirds. Visitors also appreciate the active National Coastwatch lookout station sitting high above the waves. If you enjoy dramatic hikes, you can join the famous South West Coast Path directly from here. Then, you can walk along the rugged shoreline toward hidden coves and panoramic viewpoints. Because weather conditions can change quickly along exposed cliffs, prepare carefully before you start your journey.
