Pendour Cove, Coastal cove near Zennor, United Kingdom.
Pendour Cove features stone cliffs and natural rock formations along the Cornwall coast, with clear views extending toward Gurnard's Head peninsula.
The name Pendour combines two Cornish language elements: 'pen' meaning head or end, and 'dour' referring to water, reflecting the region's linguistic heritage.
The cove inspired sculptor Barbara Hepworth to create an artwork titled 'Pendour' between 1947 and 1948, now displayed at the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington D.C.
Visitors can access the cove through multiple hiking trails, including the 6.61-kilometer Pendour and Treen Cove loop path from the village of Zennor.
Local folklore tells of Matthew Trewhella, who disappeared into the cove's waters after falling in love with a mermaid who heard his singing in Zennor church.
