Cape Cornwall, Headland in St Just, England
Cape Cornwall stands at the meeting point of the Celtic Sea and English Channel, marked by a tall granite chimney at its summit.
The cape housed a tin mining operation between 1838 and 1883, with remaining structures now part of the Cornwall Mining World Heritage Site.
The medieval St Helen's Oratory near the cape contains an ancient font, representing continuous religious presence since the 6th century.
The National Trust manages a parking area, public restrooms, and a seasonal refreshment counter for visitors exploring the coastal paths.
Two offshore rocks called The Brisons mark the starting point of an annual swimming competition that concludes at Priest Cove.
