No one disputes that West Cornwall has the most spectacular scenery. Some argue that the further west you travel, the more spectacular it becomes.
Sennen Cove would tend to support that claim. There is always some sort of breathtaking natural scenery, from giant waves crashing over the breakwater to the joyous sight of dolphins and seals swimming just offshore and the variety of different seabirds that nest on the cliffs, or just the simple marvel of a spectacular sunset, Sennen Cove lies about a mile from Land's End in the south-east corner of Whitesand Bay, sheltered from the prevailing Atlantic westerlies by the imposing bulk of the mighty Pedn-men-du Cliff. The Cove was originally established as a fishing station, and at the end of the nineteenth century, many local men and women were employed in the pilchard fishery, but tourism is now the main trade of the Cove, although a small commercial fishing fleet remains.
