Points of Interest/Notes on this walk:

Built in 1397, the 14th-century chapel, perched on Rame Head, was the home of a hermit priest, who also kept watch for sea raiders & provided a beacon to guide local shipping on dark nights. It was from here that first sight of the Spanish Armada was signalled to Sir Francis Drake in 1588.

At Penlee Point, just below the path is a grotto built into the rock face. This Gothic-style folly was built in 1827 for Queen Adelaide, wife of William IV, who frequently visited this spot.
