West Cornwall

Hand-taken West Cornwall cliffs near Land’s End, April 2025

Welcome to West Cornwall

West Cornwall’s no soft shore—it bites. Tate St Ives traps light’s hum, St Michael’s Mount laughs at tides. Minack’s stage defies gales, Land’s End snarls at seas. Penzance brews pirate yarns, St Ives hums with pilchards. Marazion guards Mount’s shadow, Mousehole’s nets dodge old fires. St Just’s mines murmur with Celtic ghosts, Sennen’s wreckers toast storms. This coast is raw—a tale spun over pints at The First & Last Inn. Wander these cliffs, sip Keltek’s ale, and scribble your own story in salt and stone.
