St Ives to Pendeen

Startlingly beautiful coastline where rugged cliffs rise above a glittering Atlantic
Overall Rating: 
0

The 14-mile stretch of coast that runs westwards from the holiday resort of St Ives to the mining village of Pendeen, can lay proud claim to being the most startlingly beautiful in south-west England.

Between the road and the 300ft high cliff lies the wave-sculptured plateau that was once submerged beneath an ancient sea. Here the classic pattern of Penwith farming, based on original prehistoric radial field systems, is clearly revealed.

The beach is also very close at hand and although it can get quite busy in the summer there's space for everyone if you wander further along the shore.

St David's Head is a dramatic headland northwest of St David's and Whitesands beach dominated by the peak of Carn Llidi. Super for sea views and circular coastal walks.

See the medieval cross which marks the centre of St David's. It's one of many along an historic route of pilgrimage to the cathedral. The cathedral itself was built with stone from our cliffs at Caerbwdy on the Solva Coast.

The weathered Treginnis Peninsula, southwest of St David's and opposite Ramsey Island (RSPB), is home to the oldest rocks in Pembrokeshire.
