Zennor is a tiny, remote village on the wild coast between St Ives and Land’s End, best known for the Mermaid of Zennor legend tied to the medieval Mermaid Chair in the parish church, and for its brief spell as home to the writer D.H. Lawrence.
Beyond the village, the coast path leads out to the dramatic granite headland at Zennor Head, with some of the most rugged, unspoiled scenery anywhere on the Cornish coast.
