Zennor Head

Explore / United Kingdom / Cornwall

Zennor Head is an Atlantic coast headland with spectacular views and a couple of coves to explore. Parking and toilets are available in the village of Zennor, where you also have a dog-friendly pub.

You have three coves, but Pendour Cove is inaccessible. The other two, Veor Cove to the west and Porthzennor Cove to the east, can be accessed from the coast path and are dog-friendly, although limited sand is available at high tide.

The area is known for the Mermaid Legend, where it is said that if you sit above Pendour Cove at sunset, you might hear the singing of Matthew Trewella, of Zennor, who fell in love with a mermaid and followed her out to sea.

If you want more information on the area visit our local St. Ives Destination page or our regional Cornwall Destination page.
