View of Pencannow Point

You don't have to get far out of Crackington Haven to find some cracking Views. To the north west is Pencannow Point, which measure up as some of the highest cliffs in Cornwall.

View of Cambeak Headland

Highlight • Natural Monument

Jutting out into the ocean is Cambeak Headland. It is worth walking up to it to see the impressive folds and patterns in the rocks, particularly on the other side.

View of Samphire Rock from Saint Gennys Beach

Make sure you find an excuse to take a pew here and enjoy the beautiful views. To Cambeak Headland to the north and The Strangles to the south.

East Wood Valley Stream

Highlight • River

An enchanted woodland footpath through East Wood that weaves alongside the river. The path is wide and makes for a good running track in this deep sided valley.

Tip by

Crackington Haven Beach

Highlight • Beach

It's the flat bit where you can rest, between a very steep downhill and a very steep uphill. (Unless you swam here!)
