Large car park and they were happy for us to use it for the walk. Incredibly popular. Consider booking a table, should you want to eat.

This is a secluded and picturesque cove steeped in local legend. It’s famously associated with the tale of the Mermaid of Zennor, said to have lured a young man into the sea. It features crystal clear waters, steep cliffs and stunning views and is best admired from this high up vantage point.

The remains of the mine building are right by the road. There is a car park that is a good starting point for hikes. The bus (Lands End Coaster) also passes by regularly.

Situated right next to the road, Carn Calver Mine is an ideal accessible place to get up close to Cornwall's industrial past. The mine was operational for only 20 years, with only 150 tons of tin produced. The two ruins closest to the road are engine houses. The wall of the chimneyed building was destroyed to fill in the mine when it closed. The Count House, off to the north from the car park, is now used by Bosigran Climbing Club to store their equipment.

A church has stood on this site since at least the 6th century, and is thought to have been founded by St. Senara. Senara has been modified over the centuries to become Zennor. The present building dates from the 13th and 15th centuries. Look out for the mermaid chair, thought to have been carved 400–600 years ago, in memory of a parish choir boy who fell in love and eloped with a mermaid.

If you're lucky, locals play folk music. Highly Recommended!
