A beautiful coastal walk with breathtaking views of the cliffs, sea, and countryside can be found along the South West Coast Path, which passes through this area. As a haven for nature enthusiasts and photographers, Ponsence Cove’s cliffs are home to a diverse range of plants and fauna.
The well-known Lizard Point, the southernmost point of mainland Britain, and Kynance Cove, renowned for its spectacular rock formations and blue waters, are two nearby attractions.
