Trevose Head

Trevose Head (right of photo) seen from the north-west. The two nearer headlands (left of photo) are Stepper Point and Gunver Head.

Trevose Head (grid reference SW853764) is a headland on the Atlantic coast of north Cornwall, United Kingdom. It is situated approximately 5 miles (8 kilometres) west of Padstow.

The Padstow lifeboat is stationed on the east side of Trevose Head.

Trevose lighthouse, maintained by Trinity House, is situated on the north-west corner of the headland.

The South West Coast Path runs around the whole promontory. In clear weather, visitors to Trevose Head can see virtually the whole length of the north Cornwall coast; to the north, the view extends beyond the Cornwall county boundary to Hartland Point (40 miles), Devon; to the south, it extends beyond St Ives to the headland at Pendeen Watch (35 miles).

The ruins of St Constantine's chapel can still be visited, as they are on an ancient right of way, nowadays on Hole 3 of Trevose Golf Club. The right of way is shown on Ordance Survey Pathfinder map (Padstow, Sheet SW 87/97 Pathfinder 1337 scale 1:25000)). (Trevose Golf Club is situated between Constantine Bay and Mother Ivey's Bay, behind Booby's Bay. Non-members can park for free near Constantine Bay Stores, use the local Bus service, walk from the North Coastal Path, or bicycle.)
