Eagle's Nest

Highlight • Climb

Penwith's Alpe d'Huez

Tip by

41.9 km

From here is a great view of St Michael's Mount, a tidal island that is home to a castle and a church. Access to the island is possible by foot across a causeway at low to mid tide.

Looked after by the National Trust, you can visit St Michael's Mount, which is still home to a community of people, cut off from the mainland at every high tide. See their website for further details: nationaltrust.org.uk/st-michaels-mount

The site is historically linked to Mont St Michael in Normandy, which is a very similar tidal island.

Penzance Harbour

Highlight • Structure

A popular coastal town, Penzance is the most westerly town in Cornwall. The town has plenty to see and do: eating fish and chips by the harbour, visiting Branwell House which was once home to the Bronte sisters, or wandering in Morrab Gardens.

Penzance is a town, civil parish and port in the Penwith district of Cornwall. It is the westernmost major town in Cornwall and is located approximately 63 miles (103 km) west-southwest of Plymouth. Situated in the shelter of Mount's Bay, the town lies to the south-east on the English Channel, is bounded to the west by the fishing port of Newlyn, to the north by the civil parish of Madron and to the east by the civil parish of Ludgvan.

Mousehole Village and Harbour

Highlight • Settlement

The fishing village of Mousehole has narrow, bustling streets filled with small shops, galleries, restaurants, and cottages built from finely grained Lamorna granite. Dylan Thomas described the village as the loveliest in England — but many Cornish people would dispute that this part of the world can even be classed as England! The village has a thriving art scene as artists come to work amid the picturesque landscape.

Merry Maidens Stone Circle

Highlight • Natural Monument

Legend has it that nineteen maidens were turned into stone as a punishment for dancing on a Sunday, along with their musicians, thus forming the Merry Maidens Stone Circle and the two standing stones.

The collection of stones date back to the late neolithic period and are thought to be complete. The granite stones are around 1.2 metres (3.9ft) high and spaced three to four metres (10-13ft) apart.
