Kynance Gate

The settlement of Kynance Gate, also known as Carngoon Bank is thought to have developed in the Middle Bronze Age around an outcrop of Serpentine bedrock. Evidence of roundhouses and kilns have been found. Later structural remains date from the iron Age through to the Roman period. The site is north from Lizard along the A3083 and parking is available at the National Trust car park. Follow the path towards Kynance Cove and one running north along the valley and crossing south of the site.

Our visit

Travelling along the coast to Kynance Gate we followed the coastal footpath towards Kynance Cove. The cliff top views are wonderful on this March day.
