The Land's End Peninsula or West Penwith is a landscape of towering granite cliffs, moors and prehistoric monuments. In this book we follow the north coast along the West Penwith Moors from St Ives to Zennor and the Gurnard's Head. Then past Land's End to Porthcurno, Lamorna and Mousehole. We end in Mount's Bay with St Michael's Mount, Perranuthnoe and Prussia Cove.
This is a lovely informative guide book, which narrows down each area of West Cornwall and provides plenty of information about them. Practical tips such as remote parking and local strolls are super-useful. Recommended if you want to get beyond the obvious attractions of West Cornwall.

Invaluable little book
An excellent little book, full of historical, geographical and local information. We’ve used it twice this week on our outings to west Cornwall and have found the walks are better for it.

Well Written With Lots of Information & Affection for the Area
Really pleased I went with an independent publisher and bought this book. It's really well put together with everything you need to know - history, sites, walks, entertainment, culture, nature, beaches, places to eat and a general feel for the place. The book is written by someone who seems to love the area and it's going to be so useful for our holiday. Thank you!
