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.
Excellent book as always with fabulous detailed maps which are better than ordnance survey with people that know & obviously love the areas they are writing about.

Great local guide book
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.
