Jutting into the Atlantic, Trevose Head commands views for miles along the coast
Trevose Head offers fantastic access to the coast. Popular amongst walkers and those on the look out for birds. A car park located on the tip of the headland with far reaching views makes this stretch of coast accessible to many. Find more information here to help plan your visit.
Arguably the most prominent headland on the north coast of Cornwall, Trevose Head boasts far reaching views to Pendeen Watch in the west to Hartland Point to the east.
The approach is via a narrow lane before the headland opens up to show a patchwork of arable fields sitting side by side with a contrasting coast line.
The South West Coast Path offers extensive views across Booby’s Bay and Constantine to one side with Mother Ivey’s Bay and across to Pentire Head to the other.
The ruggedness of the coastline extends further out towards Dinas Head at the tip of the headland with sheer cliffs and huge round hole, a dramatic result of a cave top collapse.
Home of Trevose lighthouse (owned by Trinity House) and the RNLI Padstow Lifeboat Station as well as a number of species of birds including skylarks and linnets.
