Description

Pendeen Watch (sometimes called Pendeen Lighthouse), is the last major headland in North West Cornwall before the coast heads South towards Lands End and the South Cornwall Coast. The area is primarily a seawatching site and birds passing St Ives Island approx 12 miles to the East, often pass Pendeen within an hour. As with most seawatching sites you need to check weather forecast, winds from the West or North West often prove to be best. Puffin majeur, Puffin fuligineux can be expected, with West Cornwall speciality Puffin cendré.

Continue on this road signed to the villages of Pendeen/Bojewyan. At next crossroads continue straight on into Calartha Road, this road heading North West takes you to Pendeen Watch car park (there is approx 12 car spaces in car park), but roadside parking is possible leading up to this. If heading from St Ives, take B3306 Westwards towards joint villages of Pendeen/Bojewyan and turn right into Calartha Road to Pendeen Watch.
