Gwynver Beach
Sennen's wilder northern neighbour, reached down a long flight of steps from the cliff and cut off from the main beach at high tide. It is not among the beaches covered by Cornwall Council's dogs-on-beaches order, so dogs can use it year round at any hour. Strong rips and no lifeguard cover outside the season, so keep a dog out of the surf.
Sennen Cove, Land’s End and Nanjizal
6 MI · 3H 20M · 84% OFF-ROADSix miles round the end of England, three and a quarter hours with 260 metres of climbing, and by far the best way to see Land’s End without paying to park at it. Start at the Sennen Cove car parks above the beach, which are large but fill by mid-morning in August, and return inland through Bosistow and Trevescan. A medium or large dog will need help over the stile near Bosistow Farm and most dogs need a hand across a stone on the footbridge; Nanjizal takes dogs all year while Sennen Cove does not in season, and the granite clifftop is unfenced with very long drops.
