Watch Croft

Photo: Perran Tremewan

Opening Times

Outdoor space open year round

At 252m ‘Watch Croft’ is the highest point in West Penwith and location for Tin Coast Story – An Uncommon Place with Des Hannigan.

Looking around here, where we are, Morvah Parish, the moorland is what inspires me most, all the way along the coast and the cliffs  because we are sitting above probably the most spectacular section of cliff in Cornwall with the industry of mining, the reality of its integrity and authenticity is still there.

Spoken by Des, whilst looking out from Watch Croft.
