Travelolo's Guide to Sennen Cove, Cornwall

Situated on the most south-westerly piece of Cornwall and the UK for that matter, the seaside village of Sennen is one of the nearest settlements to the legendary landmark of Land’s End. About 8 miles west from Penzance, via the delightful coastal gems of Porthcurno and Mousehole, and 6 miles south of the former mining town of St Just, the village lies midway along the Penwith Heritage Coast, from which keen walkers can pick up the South West Coast Path.

With the raging Atlantic Ocean crashing against the rugged rocks of the cliffs above Sennen Cove to the west and the inland Cornish parishes of St Just, St Buryan and St Levan completing the cardinals, you couldn’t choose a more remote and enchanting place to take a trip away. Sennen isn’t your typical picturesque Cornish fishing village or trendy coastal resort - this is one for those who love pared-back Cornwall at its best.
