Beautiful views, and you can even sit down here. It's also not as busy as Land's End.

Simply breathtaking coastal scenes as you travel the South West Coast Path just south of Port Nanven and the Cot Valley. There's hidden caves, coves and fascinating interesting-looking rocky boulders in every direction.

A very pretty part of the South West Coast Path on the headland just west of Sennen village and cove. Great views in both directions along the coast and you are also likely to see climbers on the cliffs in this area. Sennen has shops, pubs and a fish and chip shop as well as a great beach and parking. Walking west there isn't much until you get to Lands End.

On our hike we found a small hidden access to the coast with a small harbor. Quiet and worth seeing.

Carn Clougy is the steep valley on the coastal side of Nanjulian on the South West Coast Path. This is a wild section to walk north of Sennan, the trail goes steeply up and down, but none of the hills are very long. It's amazingly pretty with awesome Atlantic views.

This point is of course the classic one and you have to head there just for the photos. But it's better to leave the tourist center to one side and continue walking along the wonderful coastal path.
