Savour a unique atmosphere of tranquillity on St Anthony Head, which overlooks the spectacular entrance to one of the world's largest natural harbours.
It marks the southern-most tip of the Roseland Peninsula in Cornwall and has panoramic coastal views towards Falmouth, the Lizard and St Mawes.
The landscape is incredibly varied with an enticing combination of cliffs, creeks, estuaries, headlands, woods and beaches.
Consequently, the area around St Anthony Head is a superb place for walking and exploring the countryside. There is a bird hide from which you might be lucky enough to spot a peregrine falcon.
With its unique location, St Anthony Head has long played an important strategic role in defending Falmouth and its environs from coastal attack.
