Cligga Head Mine Shaft and Cliffs

Highlight • Historical Site

The section of the South West Coast Path here, which passes close by to Perrenporth Airfield, is super rugged. The coastline is ever so dramatic, with high sea cliffs, sea stacks, and expansive ocean views. As it is with most of the ‘SWCP,’ the views are just super nice.
