| Lamorna Lamorna is situated just two miles from Mousehole along the stunning coastal path and includes some of the most imposing coastal settings in all Cornwall. Surrounded by the sea and the magical, historic landscape of the Land’s End Peninsula, Lamorna is within easy reach of several sandy beaches (including, of course, the spectacular Lamorna Cove) and is an ideally placed base for walking, bird watching, sea sports and the many local landmarks that abound, including an array of local art galleries. The lush, verdant Lamorna Valley is but a ten minute stroll from Lamorna Cove. One of the few wooded valleys on the Land’s End Peninsula, it features delightful wooded lanes, waterfalls and streams and in summer, bluebells abound. While the Cove itself, previously quarried for granite, now reveals a delightful sandy beach at low tide. Treen Treen is situated three and a half miles south east from Land’s End and therefore also lies on one of Cornwall's most beautiful coasts and within an area of spectacular granite cliffs and beaches. It is another delightful base from which to explore the surrounding scenery and attractions and particularly popular are the cliff top walks, a bird watchers delight but equally alluring to those who enjoy quite superb, stunning views across unspoilt moorland and down on fabulous beaches and cliff faces. There are two main paths that leave Treen towards the cliff; one reaches the cliff above the beach; the other winds its way through fields and emerges on the cliff at Treen Castle, where one discovers the famous Logan’s Rock, a huge boulder seemingly precariously perched on top of a high cluster of granite slabs at the heart of the Treryn Dinas headland. Treen itself is beautiful. A delightful little village where the locals are always welcoming and the site of the famous Logan’s Rock Inn. Porthcurno Virtually anywhere in the lovely village of Porthcurno offers glorious panoramic views of the ocean and the surrounding countryside. Situated south east of Land’s End, it has a truly exquisite beach set in an idyllic cove and a heritage valley which is home to one of Cornwall’s true treasures, The Minack Theatre. Founded by Rowena Cade, a quite remarkable woman, The Minack Theatre is literally hewn from the cliff face overlooking the beach. Formerly the home of communications giant Cable & Wireless, the Porthcurno Valley and beach have been synonymous with telecommunications in particular and at one stage in history, Porthcurno beach housed more Trans – Oceanic cables than anywhere else in the world. The underground Telegraph Station and Museum (which played a vital “listening part” during the second world war) is a must for visitors. |
