Trevose Head ({{lang-kw|Penn Trenfos}}, meaning farm of the wall's headland{{cn|date=February 2015}}) ({{gbmapping|SW853764}}) is a headland on the Atlantic coast of north Cornwall, United Kingdom. It is situated approximately {{convert|5|mi|km}} west of Padstow. The South West Coast Path runs around the whole promontory and is within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the Trevose Head Heritage Coast. In clear weather, visitors to Trevose Head can see virtually the whole length of the north Cornwall coast; to the north, the view extends beyond the Cornwall county boundary to Hartland Point (40 miles), Devon; to the south, it extends beyond St Ives to the headland at Pendeen Watch (35 miles). HistoryThe ruins of St Constantine's chapel can be visited at hole 3 of Trevose Golf Club along an ancient right of way. The club is situated between Constantine Bay and Mother Ivey's Bay, behind Booby's Bay. Trevose Head Lighthouse, maintained by Trinity House, is on the north-west corner of the headland and the Padstow lifeboat is stationed on the east side of Trevose Head. The lighthouse was first lit on 1 December 1847; initially there was an upper and lower light with the lower light no longer used after 1882. The last of the resident keepers left the lighthouse on 20 December 1995 following automation.[1] A lifeboat was established at Padstow before 1825 and in 1967 the lifeboat station was moved from Hawkers Cove to Trevose Head due to silting of the River Camel. The present station was completed in July 2006 and came into service shortly after.[2]Approximately {{convert|217|acre|ha}} of Trevose Headland was put up for sale in March 2016, comprising {{convert|137|acre|ha}} of agricultural land and {{convert|80|acre|ha}} of coastal rough grazing and slope. The area had been in the ownership of the same family since circa 1900.[3] Natural historyThe headland is within the Trevose Head and Constantine Bay Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) which is designated for both its biological and geological interests. Wild asparagus grows on the cliffs of Dinas Head and shore dock at the base of the cliffs. The cliffs are also important for breeding fulmar, razorbill and guillemot.[4] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Trevose Head Lighthouse|url=https://www.trinityhouse.co.uk/lighthouses-and-lightvessels/trevose-head|website=Trinity House|accessdate=15 April 2016}} 2. ^{{cite web|title=Padstow Lifeboat|url=http://www.padstow-lifeboat.org.uk/|website=Padstow RNLI|accessdate=15 April 2016}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Cornwall headland sale expected to raise up to £4m|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cornwall-35893645|website=BBC News|accessdate=15 April 2016}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=Trevose Head and Constantine Bay|url=http://www.sssi.naturalengland.org.uk/citation/citation_photo/1003038.pdf|publisher=Natural England|accessdate=14 February 2012}} External links
