Description
Once thought to be the most westerly point in England, Cape Cornwall with it's chimney, a proud reminder of the mining history of this area, is a headland four miles north east of Land's End near the village St Just. The cape is the point at which Atlantic currents split, either going south up the English Channel, or north into the Bristol Channel and Irish Sea.
Below, in the field of Park an Chapel, is the remains of an old chapel, St. Helen's Oratory which dates back as far as Romano-Christian times.
