On this site stood the wooden hut where the submarine telegraph cable ended that was laid from Brest in 1880 by CS Faraday for La Compagnie Française du Télégraphe de Paris based in New York.
The cable connected Ireland to the Americas via the company's transatlantic cable from Brest, laid the year before.
In 1912 the cable end was moved to the Eastern Telegraph Company hut lower on the cliff at Porthcurno, where it remained in use until 1942.
The Eastern Telegraph Company, founded in 1872, played a key role in communications with India. It operated the cable laid by Brunel's steamship The Great Eastern from Bombay to Suez. From Suez the cable joined the Falmouth, Gibraltar and Malta Telegraph Company's cable to Porthcurno via Malta.

Breathtaking views over Pedn Vounder, one of the most beautiful beaches in Cornwall. The turquoise seas and sandy lagoon are overlooked by steep granite cliffs.

Teryn Dinas rocks, the rocky headland to the East of the beach was the site of an Iron Age cliff castle, and is home to the famous Logan rock.

Penberth Cove

Highlight • Beach

Penberth Cove is a tiny and unspoiled fishing hamlet that’s home to a pebble beach. The Penberth River flows down through the wooded valley and village into the cove. The whole spot is a real hidden gem along this section of the coastline.
