Kenidjack Cliff Castle

Kenidjack Cliff Castle is one of several Iron Age promontory forts that have been found in coastal locations on the Penwith peninsula. The neck of the headland would have been protected by ramparts and the ramparts on the northern side are still very well preserved.

It is possible for visitors to glimpse the remains of a triple-ditch defence line. Although the remains are covered in plant life, the protruding stones indicate that they were made using granite rocks.

The castle lies on the coast path between St Just and Botollack and a stile gives access to the headland. Peregrines and Choughs can also be found in this area.

A trip to Kenidjack Cliff Castle is sure to give you a taste of Cornish history…
