Re: Sennen Cove - got kind of rambly, sorry! Re: Something to do

[Guest guest]

If you ever get a break away from the children (probably not a good idea to

take them to the cliff edge!) you can walk up to the lookout post at the top

of the cliff past Sennen Harbour (past the art gallery - which is lovely,

have you been in? - and through the car park and keep on up the footpath).

Just before you get to the lookout post, there's a fork in the footpath

which, if you take the right hand branch takes you to a lovely spot on the

cliff edge where you can either stop and watch the climbers, or easily

scramble down the side of the cliff - honestly easily, it's just some

boulder hopping - to the platform where they climb from. It is a lovely

spectator sport - very ballet-ish! Though the language can be choice. The

platform is safe - it's above high tide level - and can be very atmospheric

in high waters as the waves crash over the edge and you all get sprayed!!
