Sennen Cove

Photographs taken 2010 to 2014

Sennen Cove is the most westerly village in Cornwall, set in a dramatic location facing the wrath of the Atlantic Ocean, with a beautiful sandy beach, and is a great place to walk across the cliff tops to Land's End from.

Sennen Lifeboat House

Sennen Cove RNLI Lifeboat "City of London III" - a Tamar Class, slipway launched.
Standing by this Lifeboat, facing the Atlantic, one gets the feeling that this boat means business.

The old Coastguard Lookout above Sennen Cove - there is an excellent walk to Land's End from here.
