The RMS Mülheim was a German Cargo ship that was wrecked here in between Sennen Cove and Lands End. At first the whole ship, which was carrying scrap plastic from cars, was stranded on the rocks but over time the hull broke in two and it was washed up into the cove known as Castle Zawn.

Lanyon Quoit is one of Cornwall's best known prehistoric monuments and stands just east of the road from Trevowhan to Madron. Originally built in the neolithic period (3500-2500 BCE), the quoit would have been made up of 4 upright stones. Sadly, due to storm damage, it had to be re-erected in the 19th century and now consists of three granite pillars (1.5m in height) which support a large slab capstone.

The age of this megalithic formation is estimated to be between 3,000 and 4,000 years. There are several legends surrounding this cultural site. For one thing, women can become pregnant if they crawl through the "Devil's Eye" - the hole stone - seven times during a full moon. On the other hand, children are protected from illnesses when they are passed through the hole. Well, no matter what faith you follow, the site is a fascinating place. This site can be visited at any time of the day or night - but one should not be disappointed by the "size" of the site. Although the megaliths appear huge in photos, in reality they are only between 1 m and 1.5 m high.
