Gurnard’s Head
Nestled on the north coast of the Penwith peninsula, is Gurnard’s Head. The rocky headland was given its name due to its resemblance to the gurnard fish and is the site of basaltic pillow lavas formed by underwater volcanic eruptions up to 40 million years ago.
Gurnard’s Head is also the site of an iron age fort known as Trereen Dinas and the remains of Chapel Jane, a possible guild chapel for local fishermen, can be found by walkers on the cliff edge above Treen Cove.
