Chynhalls Cliff Castle

South of Coverack a coastal path follows the line of Chynhalls Cliff. Chynhalls Cliff Castle is on Chynhalls Point and is formed by two earthen banks built across the promontory with a ditch between. Cliff castles date from the middle of the Iron Ages around 500 BC. Chynhalls Point is accessed from the coastal path from Coverack. However, it is also possible to walk along the coast from Kennack Sands, a route which passes close to Lankidden cliff castle.

Our visit

A warm March day which was perfect for walking along the cliffs south from Coverack. The views as we walked along the coastal path to Chynhalls Point were wonderful. The remains of the fort on the promontory stood out against the backdrop of the shimmering blue sea. We continued the walk southwest to Black Point. A really beautiful coastal walk and one we would highly recommend.
