St Anthony Head is the point to sit back, delve into your picnic and experience all the variety of this walk in one panoramic view. Look to the horizon over the vastness of the ocean, along the folds of coast running east towards The Lizard, across Carrick Roads with its big-ship traffic bound for Falmouth, into the prettified fishing village of St Mawes and the fleet of moored sailing boats on moorings, and then inland where the sea’s waters twist their way up a wilderness of small rivers and creeks. It’s that position of command that has given St Anthony Head a legacy of forts, paraffin stores, gun battery observation posts and, importantly, the lighthouse, which has provided guidance into the Fal River since 1835.

Small walk from the National Trust car park possible. But not very spectacular and m.E. not worth an extra arrival. There are nicer places with better views. But if you are close anyway, you can also make a little detour ...
