Penkenna

The north edge of Crackington Haven is dominated by the headland of Penkenna. When you are down walking on the beach you can see ant-like people silhouetted against the sky sometimes, walking along the footpath on the top.

From sea level it looks very precarious but, although narrowing to a point and dropping steeply and dramatically at the end, it is actually a safe enough place to be.

It’s a great view from up there but, on a windy and dark day like this, it’s probably best to be at sea level.
