Arguably the most prominent headland on the north coast of Cornwall, Trevose Head boasts far reaching views to Pendeen Watch in the west to Hartland Point to the east. The approach is via a narrow lane before the headland opens up to show a patchwork of arable fields sitting side by side with a contrasting coast line. The South West Coast Path offers extensive views across Booby's Bay and Constantine to one side with Mother Ivey's Bay and across to Pentire Head to the other. The ruggedness of the coastline extends further out towards Dinas Head at the tip of the headland with sheer cliffs and huge round hole, a dramatic result of a cave top collapse.
Serene atmosphere, absolutely amazing place. No crowd or queue, with ample parking spaces. Breathtaking views of the clear water and can even spot seals. One can hike in this area too. It is quite windy and rains often, so better carry a brollie with you at all times.
We walked from Constantine Bay to the lighthouse. My goodness, the view is exceptional/gorgeous along the way. Beautiful weather. Unfortunately, you can't enter the lighthouse.
Fabulous walk and glorious views of the ocean!
Great walk! Can do from Padstow to Trevone circular route, about 13km in total. Beautiful coastal walk, mainly flat with some not so strenuous hills. Walk through the hills on the way back was also scenic and quite quick compared to the coast. Would take about 3-4 hours depending on speed!
Felt like we were driving totally the wrong direction, but stick with it. Little car park at the end, and some amazing coastal walks. If you time it right, the sunset here is exceptional.
A true coastal beauty spot. Epitome of the Cornish north coast. Wild and beautiful. We had a great walk with the family.
