Zennor Head, Granite headland in Cornwall, United Kingdom
Zennor Head extends 750 meters into the Atlantic Ocean, featuring granite cliffs that rise over 60 meters above the water level.
The National Trust acquired Zennor Head in December 1953, preserving its natural state and ensuring public access to this coastal formation.
The cliffs contain visible drainage adits from Victorian-era copper and tin mining operations, reflecting Cornwall's industrial heritage.
Visitors can access multiple marked trails connecting to the South West Coast Path, offering various walking routes around the promontory.
The geological formations include metamorphic patterns where granite intrudes into Killas strata, creating distinct shale-type rocks.
