Rock climbing

Our holiday cottages are close to some great climbing spots set against terrific scenery. Sennen is one of Cornwall’s best-loved climbing venues and this makes it a great spot for a climbing holiday.

The cliffs to the west of Sennen Cove at Pedn-men-du are very popular with climbers, both civilian and military.

Although not particularly high, the quality of the climbing, the location of the crag and the impeccable quality of the granite combine to provide a crag for all, including non-climbing mates and mistresses, who are just there to sunbathe.

Sennen also has the advantages of being virtually non-tidal, only a quick stroll from the parking and within easy walking distance of the fantastic beach of Whitesand Bay.

The climbing itself is generally well-protected, vertical crack-climbing interspersed with some serious face climbs.
