St Gennys Church

Highlight • Religious Site

Is there a more picturesque setting for a church? On a clear day you can even see Lundy Island out at sea.

Castle Point Coast Path

Highlight • Trail

This is a really fun spot on the south west coast path. If you're travelling east to west towards Crackington Haven, it feels like the path suddenly runs out. All …

View of Crackington Haven

From high on the cliffs at Pencarrow Point there is a wonderful view back to Crackington Haven, the surf beach that started out as a small port supporting the local lime industry.

Crackington Haven Beach

Highlight • Beach

It's the flat bit where you can rest, between a very steep downhill and a very steep uphill. (Unless you swam here!)

View of Pencannow Point

Highlight • Natural Monument

You don't have to get far out of Crackington Haven to find some cracking Views. To the north west is Pencannow Point, which measure up as some of the highest cliffs in Cornwall.
