Penlee Point is a coastal headland situated at the entrance to Plymouth Sound. From the point, you get spectacular views across Plymouth and beyond. Above Penlee Point and a little below the Coast Path is Queen Adelaide's Grotto, which was built in 1827-28 to mark the visit of King William IV and Queen Adelaide to Mount Edgcumbe.
